Re: Copy and Paste: IOS: Mail and Safari

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I can't get this to work.  I turned my roter to words, then I one finger 
flicked down to the first word I wanted to select.  Then I put two fingers 
in the center of the screen, almost touching one another.  I basically used 
my thumb and my index finger.  I then spread out my two fingers where they 
no longer were together, but still remained on the screen at all times. 
That didn't seem to work.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you kindly,

Good explanation. I think it is called Pinch to select. And just like
you said, pinching outwards will increase your selection, based upon
rotor item. And pinching inwards will de-select.

Take care.

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!

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!
