Default Hyperlink button is greyed out.

I am working in Excel 2003 and I have a worksheet that is a table of contents
with links to PDF's and Word documents. I opened up the worksheet and now
some of the links do not work. (Can't open the specified file) But when I
select the cell to remove or edit the hyperlink the button goes to grey and I
can't do anything. Can someone tell my why this is happening and how to be
able to edit them again.

Thanks,

Are you in the cell or on the cell? When you are in the Edit mode in a cell
you can't use the hypelink button.

This feature is also not available is you are in Group mode - more than one
sheet is selected.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

I'm having a similar issue. I was able to simply select the text within a cell and right click the drop menu and select "hyperlink", all of a sudden I'm unable to do that. Very frustrated.
