[NFBCS] Jaws and Google Docs spreadsheet

[Matthew Horspool]

Hi Tracy,
Sorry for the delay, just catching up on list mail after a few days away.
I don't have a Google Sheet to test, but I have a feeling that you have to press one of the modifiers with enter to activate a link in the Google suite of products. Try ALT+enter, or CTRL+enter, or shift+enter, and see if any of those activate the link.
HTH,
Matthew

Subject: [NFBCS] Jaws and Google Docs spreadsheet

I went to a series of workshops and want to watch the videos associated with particular classes.  They're in a spreadsheet using Google Docs.  The spreadsheet looks like Excel.
I can find the class I want, and its video link, but, when I try hitting enter or use the Jaws left mouse click, nothing happens.  Then I seem to get stuck and have to hit escape, which throws me back to the top and I have to get back in the spreadsheet.
Also, when I hit the key for virtual cursor, Jaws says "application mode, double tap to go to virtual mode".  Not sure what I should do there.  I've been getting into the virtual cursor.
What do I need to do to be able to follow the link to the video I want?
Thanks for your patience with this old duck.
Tracy
