Grayed out features

I'm running Windows ME with Athlon 600, 256 MG memory, an HP DeskJet 970Cse printer and PM6.52 largely for newsletters. When having a thread consisting of three frames, for example, and desiring to disconnect a frame from the thread I find that many of the menu options in Element, Frame are grayed out, namely Change to Frame, Next Frame, Previous Frame, Remove from Threads (the one I want), and Delete Content. (See p. 115 of the 6.5 Plus Manual.) I've reinstalled but to no avail. Would appreciate suggestions to this dilemma. Thanks.
 
Jeep,
I don't know why it is greyed out, but to disconnect the thread (on PC version, not sure about Mac) press ctrl shift and click on the handle with the plus. This will disconnect that frame from the previous one.
Hope this helps
 
Good morning,
Two things to check.
One do you have the text block selected? You should have the text selected for the items not to be grayed out in the menu.
Also did you type into the text boxes or did you autoflow place the text in. This could be the reason it is gray.
Good luck.
