Recently my keyboard stopped working in FrameMaker only. The mouse works fine, and if I put the cursor in a window such as a marker window, the keyboard will work. If I open a document to edit, the keyboard doesn't work. I tried rebooting, reloading the program, nothing brings the keyboard back. It works ok in other programs and in Windows. The KEYBOARD WORKS OK, except to edit a document in FrameMaker.
Checking through the preferences, I found that "Lock file on Network" was checked. I unchecked it, and the keyboard now works. I don't understand all I know about that. I am not accessing the file on the network, but, the problem is solved.

I had the exact same problem. I was so relieved to discover this simple solution here, which I never would have found on my own. Thanks for fixing it for me!

re: Recently my keyboard stopped working in FrameMaker only.
Did you happen to try the arrow keys? I suspect they still worked. That's been my experience with read-only documents.
re: The mouse works fine
But I'll bet that highlight and right-click Cut did not.
On the other hand, when just the "S" key on my [cordless] keyboard stops working, then I know that the batteries need to be replaced.

No, the arrow keys didn't work. Nothing on the keyboard worked, but only in a document.

Same symptoms with me. Keyboard does not work only in Framemaker!
But after that "Lock file on Network" was unchecked, keyboard started to work in FM.
