RE: Can't edit parts of document

[Jim Stauffer <JStauffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had strange experiences with individual paragraphs becoming locked. 

Create a MIF file and look at the problem areas with a text editor. I don't
remember the exact sytax, but there is a <lock yes/no> command that was
causing my problem.

My first thought was that the file is locked (press
Esc F l k to lock/unlock) -- but when I locked one of
my own files just now, I couldn't select any text at
all let alone the first line.

It almost sounds like there's a clear object in front
of the text -- use View -> Borders to check that -- but
that doesn't quite feel right either.

How did you set up your text frames? Are they coming
out of a master page? Would re-applying your master
pages (to get rid of overrides, undesired or otherwise)
mess up too many other things?

The "use a bigger hammer" approach would be to save the
file as MIF & reload. Big hammers don't always hit the
target, but that one isn't too difficult to swing.
