Why can't I edit this Numbers spreadsheet?

I have a Numbers spreadsheet which I created on my Mac. My problem is that when I open it, it will not allow me to make any edits. I can see all the rows, columns, etc. including the content of each cell.... but I cannot select any of these cells.


All of the header items such as Function, Table, etc., are present but they are dimmed and I'm unable to select them.


I have other Numbers spreadsheets which allow me to edit just fine. My problem is with this one particular spreadsheet.


Is there some type of setting that I have unknowingly set whch has locked this particulare spreadsheet?


Any help is much appreciated.


Thank you.




Numbers 3.0.1

Mac 10.9.1

There is a lock setting in v3.0.1 in the Arrange tab of the sidebar. Also Lock/Unlock commands in the Arrange menu. You could check that. But when I lock my sheet it isn't dimmed.
