Table Properties options greyed out 1

[marketingmaggie]

Just recently I've lost the facility to insert background images or change Light and Dark Borders in both cells and tables. These options are greyed out on the Table and Cell Properties Dialogue boxes. The MS Knowledge Base only suggests I might have a theme running, which is not the case. It happens on a brand new page as well as ones I'd prepared earlier, which include b/g images I now want to get rid of and can't.
I've reinstalled both FP and Office to no benefit, and am out of ideas.
Any suggestions welcome!

It's because your Page Options Compatability (Tools>Page Options>Compatability) is set for compatabilty with Netscape (or Internet Explorer and Netscape). Those particular options don't work in Netscape and are, consequently grayed out.

Just to add to Garridon, by choosing custom/custom will bring the options back, or IE only.
