Hello David, I suspect you have Quick Nav turned on. If this is the case, you have to use VO navigation in text documents. I think you'd find it easier to turn Quick Nav off while editing text. Without quick Nav, the normal ways of doing things apply.
Move by character - left and right arrows; move by word - option-left and right arrows; move by line - up and down arrows; move to beginning or end of line - Control-left and right arrows; move to top or bottom of document - Command-up and down arrows. For all the VO navigation commands, press VO-h-h and select the Navigation menu. Each command is followed by its key strokes.
