There is no difference between Home/Student & any other edition. The message
means exactly what it says
Regardless of whether you realize it & even
if you can't see it, there is content of some type occupying space at the
right edge and/or bottom edge of the sheet.
Just to clarify, those commands do not *add* any rows or columns, It removes
them from the corresponding edge & sticks them where you're asking for them
to be. It can't do that if there is any content at the edge ‹ either in
cells or objects floating on the surface.
One of the most common causes is pasting content copied from other files ‹
particularly web pages ‹ where you really have no idea what all is actually
being copied. Junk can get flung all over the place.
Either clear those areas or copy just the actual content of the sheet &
paste to a new sheet. If the problem persists include OS X & Office update
levels along with as much additional detail as you can supply.
