Default Bullet and numbering is greyed out, can't click.

Cindy,
Thanks for the reply, however that did not solve my problem. I have never
used the document protection. Even so, I attempted to turn it on and off in
the areas that were "unclickable", still with no luck. In some lines I am
able to click numbering, and yet when I move the cursor a position either
right or left, I am no longer able to click numbering. If I delete the entire
area around the unclickable position(s), the unclickable position moves to
the edges of the area I just deleted. It's very odd. I was able to work
around through trial and error, I am able to at least find one clickable
position on each line, even those with this problem, and therefore with the
cursor in a clickable position, can click numbering, subsequently I am able
to number each line that needs to be numbered. However, this whole episode of
not being able to click numbering whenever I chose is puzzling. Thanks for
your ideas.

Hi ?B?QmFycnkgSHVsbA==?=,

Occasionally, and I have no idea why, when trying to add a bullet or number,
the drop down box under format for "bullets and numbering" is greyed out when
my cursor is on that line, and I am not able to select it. I've gone so far
as to delete the entire section and retype, with no luck. I notice that if I
move the cursor up a line or two that I once again have the ability to select
bullets and numbering. However, what appears to be random, on certain lines I
do not have the ability to select bullets and numbering. This is VERY
frustrating. Can anyone help?

Have you, perhaps, activated document protection at the times when the command
is unavailable?
