Progress I previously reported that the slider controls in my Manipulate[] graphic were gray and inactive. Setting "Format --> Option Inspector -- > Cell Options --> General Properties --> Deployed --> True" did not help (yes, the file was selected). But next to Deployed, I noticed Enabled, so I set Deployed --> False and set Enabled --> True. That turned on the blue slider buttons again. I rechecked by setting Enabled --> False and resetting Deployed --> True. That produced inactive slider buttons. Furthermore, in the main Cell menu, the Delete All Output choice was now grayed out. I again set Deployed --> False and set Enabled --> True and got the active controls back as well as an active Delete All Output. So I did the obvious, setting both Deployed and Enabled to True. The controls are active and Delete All Output is active. The instructions I have found all said to set Deployed --> True, but I con't recall any mention of Enabled. It is not clear to me what Deployed --> True does in this situation. Enabled --> True seems to be both necessary and sufficient, at least within the notebook. Does Deployed affect only the cdf files? I am puzzled that my many searches for online documentation on this point produced only snippets of information on Deployed (generally with incomplete information on where to find it) and no information at all on Cell Options --> General Properties --> Enabled (True/False). For example, I don't find it here <http://reference.wolfram.com/ mathematica/ref/Manipulate.html>. I feel a need for a few collected pages of expanded discussion of when and where the various options available under the Options Inspector are or are not needed. There is a great need for a document on trouble shooting. The technical descriptions are not always obvious to a beginner. I am picking up a few things, but at a cost which seems unnecessarily high. Some of the needed discussion might be scattered among the many books on Mathematica, or many of the answers might be concentrated in one or two books, but which ones? Mathematica Home Edition 8, iMac, OS X 10.6.8, Chrome, Firefox
