Excel 2000: Insert Hyperlink button on toolbar remains grayed out (disabled)

Hi all,

I am using Excel 2000 on Windows XP SP2.

This is really dumb, but for the first time eveer I am trying to insert a hyperlink into a cell, and whatever i do (select text or a complete cell) the Insert Hyperlink button on the toolbar remains grayed out (disabled). Similarly does the "Insert Hyperlink" command in the Insert menu, and also the CTL-K hotkey does nothing.

A found a wierd solution: if I click Window | New Window I get a new window onto the same file, but this time Hyperlink is enabled.

What's going on? Seems like I've got a bug.

Trashed the offending file and could not reproduce the problem.

All answers sounded good so gave points to everybody.

thanks,
