Why does DW disable insert menu items?

Question

This must be a configuration option someplace, but in general, why would DW disable Insert menu items?
I am in .cfm file, in clearly an unlocked area of a page where I should be allowed to insert hyper links, email links, horizontal rules, images, tables.  But on the Insert menu, each of those items is disabled (and others, but you get the point).  Since the insert menu items are disabled, the keystroke shortcuts for those actions don't function.
I can manually type in these tags, and I can insert them from the Insert window.
I start a brand new .cfm page, and the insert menu is fine.
It appears DW is examining the code and deciding [INCORRECTLY] what is appropriate to insert via the menu.
Thanks for any insight provided.

That's plain HTML, not PHP, and DW doesn't do that - really.

DW's javascript solves that problem.

*DON'T DO THAT*
Leave DW's code alone.

It is not the problem, most likely - but tell us what the
problem was.
