Excel Formatting Cells... Dialog Box Missing

[Karma31251]

I have 2 excel spreadsheets sent to me via e-mail, hotmail. The person that sent them to me checked to make sure it was working and then sent them for the second time. These are the only two spreadsheets that do this, no matter how i do it, Format - Cells..., Crtl+1, or right-click Format Cells..., when i click it nothing happens, no error, no dialog box, nothing. I checked other spradsheets and all of them work, these 2 don't??? I have search google but have not found anything relavent. HELPPP!!!

Are the cells protected or locked? What about the worksheet itself?
