RE: Ctrl key issues
Hi, On my system (still Windows 2000) I can deactivate shortcuts for switching between different keyboard layouts. Very good as at least I switched to another layout now and then inadvertently.

Re: Ctrl key issues
I have this problem all the time. It seems like the Windows shortcuts are the ones that stop working. At the same time, when selecting text together with the shift key, it does not work properly. -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 Corinne Kenney wrote: > FM 9 and FM 7.2 / Windows XP Pro > > Have battled with this over a year, and 3 laptops.

Re: Ctrl key issues
hi Corinne, do you happen to have alternate keyboard layouts configured on your system, other than the basic English (United States)? I have a few and I found that the one I use most often — a customized version of the French (Canada) layout that includes Unicode characters (i.e. Esperanto's accented letters) — interferes with the keyboard shortcuts *in FrameMaker only*. Soon after installing this keyboard layout, I realized I could not use Ctrl+Shift+V in FrameMaker anymore (nothing happens). At first I thought I would have to uninstall this custom layout and do without it, but then it dawned on me that I might as well just switch to English (Canada) by pressing Left Alt + Shift, the first time I need the shortcuts in FM. (I just cannot use FrameMaker to write in Esperanto.) all this to say... could it be that your Ctrl keys stop working as soon as, somehow, you pressed Left Alt + Shift (unknowingly)? Maybe check your Regional Options control panel, the text services configured on your system, and the language bar preferences... See if just pressing Left Alt + Shift once or twice could revive your Ctrl keys... it could also be something else... For instance, when I was using Remote Desktop Connection to acces a computer at work from my home computer, I would always end up losing both the Ctrl keys and the Shift keys at some point. Sometimes, just repeatedly going Left Ctrl, Right Ctrl a few times, and then Left Shift, Right Shift a few more times would revive the lost keys. (Appartently this was a known issue with Remote Desktop, at least at the time.) FWIW Suzanne Corinne Kenney wrote: > Actually, it happens ONLY in Frame. Other apps work fine.

Re: Ctrl key issues
I'd suspect something on the laptop because it happens for different aps. When something like this has occurred on one of my systems, I usually find that it's ClipMate, SnagIt, or another add-in grabbing keystrokes before Frame can get to them. If you have any aps that you know have hot keys running, you may want to disable them one at a time to ID the culprit. Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
