Actually, I don't completely understand. I understand about moving the
rotor to whatever, lines, words, etc. but I'm not getting the whole thing
about sepereating two fingers.

Hello:
To select text in other places rather than an edit field, you just need to
set your rotor on the mode you will select; let's say, words, sentences,
lines, etc.
When you have it, just pace your cursor, with your finger flick down or up
at the start of the block of text you want to select. Then, separate 2
fingers from the center of the screen, and each time you separate them,
you will select a block. If your rotor was on words, you will select word
by word each time you separate your fingers, if it is on lines, you will
then go line by line.
I hope I am being clear and that this information helps you.
Take care!
Best regards,

OK, I have an IPhone 4S, an IPad 1st Generation, an IPad 3rd Generation,
and an IPad Mini. So, as you probably can guess, I am quite an I O S
Guru. Having said that though, this is one thing, that to this very day
still puzzles me. I know that in a text field, I can turn my rotor to
"Edit", and then one finger flick down to select all, double tap, then
one finger flick down to copy, or cut, and double tap. Then go to
another text box, make sure I'm on "Edit", then one finger flick to
paste, and double tap. But here's where the, yeah, but... comes in.
Let's say that I'm in the Mail app, and I've just opened up an e-mail,
oh, what the heck, we'll just say from my friend. He's giving me his
flight
itinerary number, what concorse he'll be in, etc. I need to e-mail the
information to my mother who's going to be picking him up. Again, this
is just a ficticious example, but it does stand my point in perfect
context. Yeah, I could forward my mother the entire e-mail, but why?
When I open the e-mail, obviously the content of the e-mail isn't in a
text field. So, how could I select a block of text from that message,
then copy it? Here's another example. Say I'm on Safari, and I see a
web site that has some good information about a particular topic. How
would I then select just that one paragraph then somehow copy it, so I
could then paste it into a text, or e-mail, etc?
OK, I'll give you that in Mail, I guess one sollution would be to go like
I was going to reply/forward the message, then I would have a full on
text field, then could select all, copy the whole e-mail, compose a new
message, address it, then put my subject, then paste the body, then
delete the aronious unneeded stuff accordingly, but, man oh man! that's a
lotta work just to copy one little part of the mail! With Safari, I'm
even more! clueless how I'd do that seeing there's no way what so ever
that I know of to force the html content into a text element area. I
know there has to be a way to do this! Surely Apple didn't forget a
feature as necessary as this! LOL!
Thank you kindly,
