Just kind of a heads up, even though you might get access to certain keystrokes such as say line or being able to announce the current font attributes, you might lose some access to other keystrokes such as being able to quickly identify a graphic and potentially select that graphic regardless of which screen reader you're using.

Dear Listers:
I am trying to read a document from my church that was sent in
Googledocs, but I am finding that when I read it I can only do so
line-by-line, meaning I have to press the Down Arrow key after every
line. The JAWS Say All command will not work. Is there a way using
JAWS that I can read something in Googledocs straight through, as if
I were using the Say All command in other documents?
