[NFB-Talk] Microsoft Word 365 on the web

For reasons I won’t bore you all with, it looks like my only option for opening and editing documents is through the web version of Ms Word 365.

However, I have never used it online, and non-visually it seems to be rather different than using the installed app.
If I start at the top of the document, or anywhere, pushing down arrow, instead of saying what’s on the next line, it says: “Edit, contains text, type and text.”
But doesn’t say what the text is.
If the line or field is a heading or title or something like that, it says that, but also doesn’t read the text though.

The current document, and other documents I have tried, are documents I created myself, in the Microsoft Word app a few weeks ago. Nothing wrong with the documents. Additionally, as far as I can tell, if I try to type on the line where it has just said: “Edit, contains text, type and text.” It is not actually typing anything.

Does anyone what’s going on here? Is the web version usable with screen readers? 
How does this work?

Thanks,
Anna
