HI Kevin, Many thanks for the attached references to helpful documents on how to use Google docs.
I finally found some good help and a tutorial on how to use ChromeVox. At first I did not realise that it is a complete screen reader for the Google Chrome environment and that you first have to turn VoiceOver off to avoid confusion. There are a vast number of good shortcut keys to control ChromeVox but one problem I have not yet solved is the need to keep the ChromeVox keys Control+Option keys pressed while you tap in turn the two or more keys required to enter the required ChromeVox keyboard shortcut. I noticed that there is a sticky key feature which suggested that a double tap of the Insert key would lock the ChromeVox keys on. However I am not sure which Insert key and I have not gotten this to work. Have you solved this problem? Many thanks.
