Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for your reply.
I've learned that the "Interpret natural language into Wolfram Language code" button/style does not query Wolfram Alpha.
I see now that you can type "==" in a new cell (or alternately select "Wolfram|Alpha Query" after clicking the "+" icon to choose a new cell type) to get the kind of cell that you showed in your example.
Gee, this really isn't intuitive for a new user. I spent a long time looking over the icons that go across the top menu bar and at the items in the Format > Style menu. Wolfram|Alpha Query is not listed there.
I wanted to add the resolution in case another community member has the same question in the future.
