How do I unlock some menu items?
 

I use Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 on my computer at
home. While I was out of the room, one of the kittens walked across the
keyboard and locked the 'undo' and 'redo' arrows. They are 'grayed' out and
only turn black when I tried to reinstall them, which didn't work. Does
anyone know how to 'undo' their help?

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by "I tried reinstalling them"? Are you
reinstalling Office?

Undo and Redo are not available until you do something.

If they are visible, then there is no need to use Customize to put
them back. As Shane said, they are only black/available when you have
actually done something, like typing something. If you Save or do some
other types of commands, you will lose the saved Undo and it is gone.
If you have to reverse something at that point, you have to go change
it back manually.

That's the problem. When I enter info on my spreadsheet and make a mistake, I
can't hit the undo and remove it. The buttons are grey even after I have
entered information.

Have you got any event code running that would clear the undo stack?

No. I think my only option is to reload the program.
