Cut Key in excel is greyed out

Use the following macro to reset all the options.

Press Alt + F11 on your keyboard. Then from the menu bar on top, select Insert > Module.

Paste the following code block there, then click the run button on top (the tiny right-pointing green triangle).

Sub Reset_Cells() 
CommandBars("Cell").Reset 
CommandBars("Row").Reset 
CommandBars("Column").Reset 
End Sub 

The second line resets the cut/copy/insert options for cells, the third resets it for rows and the fourth resets it for columns. Hence, this should enable the controls everywhere.
