There is no cell selector (those blue square brackets that are on the right side of each cell) for a Title cell - at least, not in my notebook. Also, if I put my cursor in the title cell and hit the delete button, nothing happens. Right-clicking on the cell to get the context menu, I see options cut and copy are grayed out, but paste, style, etc are not. I right-click in the cell and chose Option Inspector. The Cell Option is grayed out (as is Notebook and Global Options). Thanks.
