Brad, Try Select ALL , Move Select ( to another point). See if this frees up you polygons. It has worked for me with polygons and other primatives I could not edit.
And please Altium DO NOT MAKE Protel look and feel like Accel. If I wanted Accel I wouldnt have returned it for a full refund several years ago.
