Why are some commands in Excel's Drawing Toolbar greyed-out (eg T.

[Guest]

I simply want to add a Text Box to an Excel Chart.
Although I can open the Drawing Toolbar OK, some comands on it are
greyed-out and do not function?
How can I activate the Text Box command?

By the way, if I create a new spreadsheet, all the Drawing Toolbar commands
are active. So I conclude that the problem lies with the specific spreadsheet
that I am working on rather than the software or any general settings.

It seems so basic, but I would really appreciate help on how to fix it.
Thanks.
