Can't format memory card on Canon 180

I just purchased a new Canon Elph 180.  I also bought an SD memory card at Best Buy.

As soon as I put the card in, the screen flashed, Memory Card Error.  Checking the manual I found that this is normal and that the card needed to be formatted.

The instructions state, click the format tab, under menu/settings and tools.  In the drop down the format tap is between Start Up Image and File Numbering.  I see it there, but it is dark, and the cursor will not land on it--it skips it.

Help!  (I would call the number but it's Saturday.)

There is a tiny little switch on the SD card. Make sure it’s not set in the "locked" position. Slide it to the opposite direction and try again.
