Can you force the keyboard to appear?

Saw this on some phone forums but have the same problem on Xoom. When doing say a crossword puzzle in the NY Times, can't get the keyboard to open to enter letters. Anybody know if this can be done?

I'm not sure how it work on a (Zoom)Xoom tablet, but on my device - I just long press on the menu (hardkey) button.

Thx but while in NY times there is no menu key available.

Has it perhaps got the radial menu on the right? You know the kind that comes up if you change the settings to labs? In order to get that menu you swipe your finger along the right edge of the tablet.

You're the man - sorta. doing that after i enabled it did indeed bring up the keyboard within the crossword puzzle. however, when I type it goes into the URL and not he puzzle. Getting closer but still not quite.
