Hi Dave,
If a Word document contains text boxes, you can use the Page Navigation dialog (Insert-Tab by default) to list the text boxes in the document and to bring a selected text box into focus so you can interact with it. Press the hotkey, arrow to the text box you want to read or edit in the list and press Enter. Doing so will close the dialog and place your insertion point inside of the text box with edit mode turned on. If you are done reading or editing the text in the text box, you can press ESC to leave edit mode and then press ESC a second time to move away from the text box and back into the text in your document. Just as a side note, after pressing ESC the first time, you leave edit mode but your focus is still on the text box object. At this point, you could use your arrow keys to reposition the text box in the document. Pressing ESC again will move focus away from the text box object and allow you to read or edit the text in the document. I hope you find this info helpful.
