I am having the same issue as the OP.

I have tried hitting enter or arrow keys when I am on a cell and various
other methods of navigating through several different views yet the
Tools-->Options menu remains greyed out. Actually most of the menus in the
toolbar are greyed out.

Can someone confirm that this is only happening because it is the Trial
version and not something else I am doing wrong?

Thank you

Hello Brady,

Did you activate the software? Have you exited your OS and restarted
since installing?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
