In a using Office Word 2003. The status bar at the bottom of the screen (the
bar that includes page, line, column, etc) is greyed out. I can see it, but
it is greyed out. How do I make it active?

Do you have a document open? Much of the information will be grey until
there is something meaningful to go there. That is, the page info may be
grey until there is more than one page. The buttons REC TRK EXT OVR are grey
until you activate them by double-clicking on them.
