I can not insert a cell in some worksheets in a Workbook. When I right click in a cell to insert a cell the only option available it to insert a Row or Column. Create a new worksheet in same workbook and the option to insert a cell is available. (get pop up asking where to move the cells to make form - Up, Down, Left of Right.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Happy to send a workbook with the problem -
It's driving me crazy . . . . .

I removed your email address from your post, as Spam Bots routinely troll Public User Forums like these looking for email addresses to Spam.

Is the cell part of a table?

That was it. Had a filter active - when I cleared all filters - able to insert a cell. Makes perfect sense and obvious why.
My sanity has returned.
Thanks
