Both of those addons have caveats in their online documentation on situations where the edit doesn't work. You might also try disabling one or the other in case there is a conflict. If nothing works, I suggest disabling any other addons to ensure no conflict. Finally, write to the authors for assistance.

Removed both as suggested Header tools lite never did work. Installed Header tools improved and it worked well. Thanks for the help
