Hello -

I have an odd issue.   No matter if it is a new or existing workbook my insert and delete row/column options are greyed out.   The workbook is not protected as this happens for even brand new ones as well.  I have searched and cannot locate a solution.

Excel 2013 - Click to run

Windows 8

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just solved my own issue.

Had to delete the \Office\15.0\Excel\Options via regedit.

Problem resolved.

    Looks like your answer helped hundreds, but I am unable to find such directory.

    Maybe this happens because of some macro run in the past?
