My keyboard does not work in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

Hi there

Went to use Microsoft word for Mac 2011 today and the keyboard was not working, couldn't type anything however I was able to copy and paste into the document. I also opened up Excel and Powerpoint, same thing. Tried various online forums for some answers but failed to find anything. Thought that perhaps i may need to update as I recently updated to Yosemite, but every time I click on 'Upgrade Office', a Microsoft Error Report comes up instead, saying it encountered a problem and needs to close.

Any advice would be appreciated! Really need to start working on my assignment!

Thank you

OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I had the same problem. I hit the Option key 5 times and.... voila! It is back. Incredible.
