Read it, tried it, but my life has been very stressful over the past year so some of it did not take and since I am not fond of texting and will not do e-mail on my phone except to send myself stuff from work occasionally, I have not tackled it lately.

This encouraged me to explore the skill further. In Anna and Dean's book, there is an excellent section explaining how to edit text with specific examples provided. They then go on to explain how to select various chunks of text. I would highly recommend that everybody who is having difficulty grasping the editing concept on the iPhone to red this section of their book. Les On Jun 16, 2012, at 1:36 PM, Raul A.

So if you move backwards, then pressing delete will delete the character prior to the one spoken last, if you move forward, delete will delete the character last spoken. Basically, if you stop to think it through, it will be very logical. I find editing with the touch screen to be very nice, and even better than with a bluetooth keyboard. Not junk at all, but then again, that's my opinion too. <smile>. > > -- > Raul A.
