Before IOS 9, this was the way one selected things. Not me, I never was able to get it to select specifically what I wanted it to select, even though I had it explained to me countless times. In those cases where I can make edit appear in the rotor, I put two fingers, spread apart,onto the screen, making sure they are exactly straight up and down in portrait mode, then bring them together. As I say, it works, sometimes.

The following works sometime, I can't guarantee it will work in your
situation.  But when I think edit ought to be in the rotor but doesn't,
I use the old pinch gesture on the screen, it selects something, and
edit then appears in the rotor. You then have to unselect whatever it
selected before continuing, but at least edit is there now.

Did you start a new note so you are in editing mode?

Touch your finger on the screen before you activate the rotor and
then the edit will come up. then swipe down with one finger until
you get paste. that might mean you swiping down with one finger and
number of times.

the original text file needs to be in an editing mode for the edit
rotor feature to appear.  At least, that's how it used to work.

i don't see edit at all in my roter, any idea why, or how to add it?

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.

Hey guys,
OK, i need some help here, just cause i haven't done it.  I have a
text file that i wrote in notepad in the PC, and it is saved to
dropbox.  It looks like i can open that file on the iphone.  How
do i copy all the text from that file, in to the clipboard on the
phone and paste it in to another app, any ideas?
