[blindLaw] Interacting with tables in Google Docs with JAWS

Hi All,

Yesterday, I had to enter some sub-headings in a table I work working on
with colleagues in Google Docs. I found this very hard to do. Principally,
this was because JAWS was not moving from one cell to the other smoothly.
It would start messing up the indentation when I would try to use the tab
key to move from one cell to the other.

When I opened the document with NVDA, NVDA did not interact with the
document altogether. it just kept saying blank. I finally managed to
complete the exercise with great difficulty by using arrow keys with JAWS.

Surely, there has to be a better way to do this. Please let me know your
thoughts on the matter.

Warmly,
Rahul
