No Option for Smooth/Flat Shading I'm trying to create some objects in blender and I just installed it, but for some reason I have no option for smooth/flat shading in the tools? Im new to blender so I dont know where else to find it.

Any help is greatly appreciated
If the active object isn't a mesh, curve, or surface these options won't be available (thanks @Carlo).
Right click on an object to make it active. Use &#8679; Shift RMB to make an object active while maintaining the rest of the selection. 

It's somewhat rare that you end up completely without an active object, but it can happen e.g. when switching between layers.
