Opening the Styles & Formatting with F11 shows me the styles I have set up in Calc. But now, when I try to create a new style, modify a current style or delete a style, I do not get a second window to actually modify the new style, cannot get a window to modify a style if I select Modify and cannot get a confirmation window when trying to delete a file. In short, making any of these choices when right-clicking a style does nothing.
It didn't used to be this way and if someone knows how to restore the default behavior for Styles & Formatting I'd appreciate hearing about it.

[Solved] Modify Style fails when ANY sheet is protected
If you need any additional assistance attach a spreadsheet demonstrating the difficulty (remove confidential information then use Post Reply, not Quick Reply, and don't attach a picture instead of the spreadsheet itself). I will not help further unless you attach a spreadsheet document.
If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ✏️ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

Re: New, Modify or Delete not working for Styles
As MrProgrammer says, but a quick test is to start a new Calc file and see if you can new or modify a style in that.

It was a protected sheet in the workbook. I didn't imagine it as the cause. Thanks very much for the help. I edited the original post to show as solved.
