First of all, You can easily get to Google Docs from your Google drive. So, to make things easier, Just think about Google drive, and you can get to all of the other apps from it. First of all, the URL to type in is: drive.Google.com<http://drive.google.com> Don’t type the www. Next, you want to be using Firefox; however, IE is close behind for working well with Google Drive. When the page comes up, you will be put in your list of files on My drive of Google Drive. Immediately, press insert + X to turn off the virtual cursor. to use these Google apps, you cannot have the virtual cursor on, because you are working in an app, and you do not want the keys you press to activate the JAWS navigation commands like h for heading, for example. In Google Drive, there are different default folders just like on your hard drive. Now, if someone sends you a file, press gn to go to the navigation area and arrow to the incoming folder and press enter. Then, you will be able to open up the file that was sent to you. There are many key commands you have to know to get around Google Drive. Google Docs does not come into play until you open a Google document within your list of files that is in your My Drive area of Google Drive. If you enter on a Google Doc, it will open up in a separate area called Google Docs! See how Google Drive is the hub of Google Docs, Google Sheets, and so on. When you are in Google Drive, press ctrl + / to bring up all key commands for Google Drive, and do the same when a Google Doc opens in Google Docs. Some of the important key commands, In Google Drive, to get to your list of files, press gl. Press up and down arrow to go through your files. To create a new document, press the letter C and arrow down to document and press enter. Google Docs will then open with a blank document window for you to Type in. When you press the letter C to get to the new menu, you were in Google Drive at that point. You did not go into Google docs, until you pressed enter on document to create a new document, then the Google Docs window opened. See how everything starts by being in Google Drive. So, You go from Google Drive to Google Docs by doing two things. If you press enter on a Google doc in your list of files in Google Drive, that document will open up in Google Docs, and then you can edit it with all kinds of key commands you have to learn. Now, if you are in Google drive and you want to create a new document, press the letter C to go to the new menu and down arrow to document and press enter, and that will also put you in Google docs with a blank document window and you can create your new document. The key commands are so different, because you are using programs that open in your browser. If you use a lot of the commands you use in MS Office, they will activate your browser instead of the program itself. Please email me and let me know what you need help with and maybe we can get a hold of each other on Skype. My email is: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Have a great one, and hope that helps a little to clear some things up.
