Terry, Not sure if I'm understanding exactly what you want here, but I will throw in my two pennyworths:if you want to edit or extract text from an email message, four example, you can opt to reply to that message which will then put the cursor at the beginning of the new message in new reply that you are editing see you can then use the rotor to find edit and then select all and carry on from there. Obviously you don't have toactually reply you can always cancel but you you would have added to the clipboard that which you were looking for.another way, and this one I can use, once in an edit field or even in a message not in reply mode, if I'd just touch the centre of the screen to draw attention to even just one word of text or even just one letter of text and then slide two fingers apart on the screen I might get that letter or word, depending on the mode on the rotor, selected. Once I have something selected, I can then find edit on the rotor and work away from there.
Hope this helps and is vaguely clear, Sandy Sent from my iPhone > On 8 Jan 2015, at 19:33, Terri Elliott <terrielli...@samobile.net> wrote: > > I'm trying to select a message from my email account.
