Hi, Navigating within the Google Doc itself is not near as efficient as doing so in TextEdit or some other Word processor. When you first open a gDoc, focus is normally put on the editable area. If you just arrow down you will hear a thud then the text of the specific line that has keyboard focus. You can continue arrowing down/up to hear whatever is on that line and arrow right/left to go character by character. If you VO out of that area and take focus elsewhere, it is often difficult, but not impossible, to get your self back in without quitting and re-opening the gDoc. I admit that I’m not a user of QuickNav so have not used it at all when navigating within various Google apps. I normally just use the tab key, the return key, arrow keys and VO navigation when doing so in Safari. Myself, I find it easiest to use a combination of Chrome with ChromeVox and Safari with VO when working with apps in the Google Apps suite.
Regarding the menus, make sure that Screen Reader Support is enabled when you enter into your gDoc then doing as you’ve mentioned usually works for me. That is, VO-space to activate the menu, then VO-arrows to navigate through the options. HTH. Later...

I managed to read through google's documentation on using google docs with screen readers and as suggested there, I use it in safari by enabling and disabling QuickNav to do certain tasks. I am able to create documents, name them, and copy-paste text into them from textEdit. The reason behind using TextEdit to write the document is I am unable to navigate in the document to make changes after typing it in google docs. How do I do this? That is, How do I navigate to a particular line or a word after typing it and edit it? How do I add specific comments by selecting text in the document? As of now, I am using the Docs app on iOS to select text and add comments. How ever, I would be more comfortable to do this on my computer keyboard (if there is a possibility). I am unable to access the options in the menus. I just hear the sound VO makes when a PopUp box is activated and the first few options in the menu when I press down aero(QuickNav turned on) or VO+Down Aero (QuickNav off) after activating the menu. How do I do this? Specifically, I would want to export the document and share it with others in most cases. Any help or suggestions would be of great value. Thank you.
