Hello Veronica, It's best to start from the document rather than the application. Find your document and press Cmd-o and when VoiceOver says "Edit text", interact and all the VoiceOver commands will work.
However, before trying that, open System Preferences and go to the General pane and uncheck that check box I told you about. It will make your life easier.
