Default Data functions Lost or Disabled?

Hello, I have a very large spreadsheet I've been working
with for months that suddenly has ALL the Data options
dimmed out. I can't even sort.

When I try copying even a tiny bit of the data to a new
spreadsheet, the same thing happens.

What have I done? Help?

Hi Donna!

One possibilty, sounds like the sheet may be protected.
Goto TOOLSPROTECTION. If the sheet is protected there
will be an option to UNPROTECT.

Hi
another idea: have you grouped some sheets (the word [group] appears in
the caption bar)
