Wrap, Anchor, Arrange, and Alignment are for controlling how objects (e.g. - pictures in various formats, charts, etc) interact with text. Insert a picture into your document, select it, then check those menus again. You should see choices can now be made from those menus. It's similar to "File | Save". Edit your file and save it, either using the menu or the floppy disc icon. Once saved the "File | Save" option on the menu and the floppy disk icon are no longer highlighted. Edit the document and they are available again. For another example look in your Edit menu when you have nothing selected. The Cut and Copy options will not be available. Nothing selected means nothing to cut or copy so menu option for the operation is not available.
