In addition to ANONYMOUS' reply, you must have a website open before opening
any page.
If there are still greyed-out items, then
Tools->Page Options-Authoring Tab and check the settings there.
Some items will always be greyed out unless you are editing a particular
item in the page, or a particular type of website - most of the Data menu
items, for example, require live editing of a SharePoint site.
