I have been having a problem lately when I try to format a group of cells. I
need to change them to Short Date format, but when I click on a group of
cells and either right click and select format or if I try the Ctrl+1 combo
to bring up the format menu nothing happens. On other occasions it works. Is
this a known bug? Any known way of solving this so it works all the time?
Thanks! Lyle
 
If Lori's response doesn't apply:

The only time I've seen this is when the workbook was created by another program
(Lotus 123 and Crystal Reports, for me).

I could select a little bigger range and get the dialog to appear. Then I'd
format this larger range and come back later to change the sacrificial cells
back to what they should be.

Any chance your workbook was created by something else?
