formatting tool bar is grayed out

Question

User-1767698477 posted

I'd like to be able to use <b> and <i> tags by highlighting some text and clicking a button on the FORMATTING TOOLBAR so I don't have to manually add the bold and italic tags myself manually. I can see the toolbar B I and underline it's just grayed out. How can I fix this? Is this in tools options?

I"m talking about the Bold, Italic, Underline text tools. How do I make them clickable? When I right click on the vs menu, I have a checkmark next to formatting, HTML Source editing, Standard and texteditor. What is the trick to make this thing not be grayed out?
