[NFBCS] Jaws and Google Docs spreadsheet

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

I understand that you have the problem solved, but did you try pressing JAWS KEY with Z to turn off the Quick Keys mode?  Sometimes you have to do that to give complete control to web pages with screen reader support.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

People have suggested that I go to the file menu and download the sheet, but, in Chrome,  the file menu has a submenu, and, when I hit enter on it, my cursor stops responding.  And, if I don't hit enter but instead use right-arrow, it just reads the letters in "file menu".
The "screen reader support" option doesn't seem to do much, either.
Firefox behaves much better, and I was able to download the sheet from there.  The spreadsheet on my PC works very well.
I think it's odd that Google Chrome isn't playing well with Google Docs, but at least I found a solution and have what I need.
Thanks for all the help.
Tracy
