Once you have the file open in the Dropbox app you should be able to turn the rotor to "Edit", then flick up or down with one finger until you find "Select All", double tap at that point. Now open whatever app you want to paste the text to, turn the rotor to edit again and flick up or down until you find "Paste" then double tap. Regards, Sieghard
