Hi Glenn,
At risk of being redundant, allow me to requote this passage from my initial
post:
Quote:
>From your email or text message, navigate to the link, and use the pass

you can right flick to options such as "copy".

Please reread carefully and let me know if anything is unclear or is not
working as expected at your end.
Best regards.

Hi Jeff,
The flaw in your directions is that if I double-tap a link, it opens safari
to that page.
The link is in a text, and I want to copy it, and paste it into a facebook
app.
I once got the edit option in the rotor list, but when I double-tapped it,
it just went away.

Hi Glenn,
Perhaps I'm not understanding your question. Assuming that the desired page
is open in Safari on your IOS device, the procedure for placing an icon on
the home screen is to double tap the "utility" button which is located on
the bottom of the Safari window near the center. From the resulting dialog,
one of the available buttons is labeled: "add to home screen".
Should you ever desire to copy the URL, you would have several options.
From your email or text message, navigate to the link, and use the pass
through gesture (double tap and hold). When you here the triple bonk noise,
you can right flick to options such as "copy". If the item is launched in
Safari:
1. Navigate to the URL.
2. Double tap to edit.
3. Use the roter gesture to select "edit".
4. Flick down to "select all" (I think "select" yields the identical
result).
5. Select "copy". ".
HTH.

Subject: copying text on an iPhone
Hi,
I have a rather lengthy link to a web site, so I sent the link from my
computer's eMail to my phone via text.
I can go to my messages on my iPhone, and tap on the link and it opens the
page, but I want to make a link on my home screen for it, so I select it
by
spreading my fingers on the text, and that selects it.
The thing is, I cannot figure out how to copy the link after I select it.
Thanks for any help.
Glenn
