I myself have the Apple keyboard. I'm going to try your Notes app suggestion, though I'm not sure it's quite the Dropbox integration we're talking about. Then again, I think Notes lets you e-mail stuff to yourself, so who knows. You may be onto something.--Joe

You can do bold italic there and selecting and moving text works fine with bt keyboard.

Editing documents is one way, and while I understand there is currently no means of editing Doc or DOCX files, I'd like to see about the next best alternative. Esther's message earlier about an RTF editor was promising, but I'd prefer not have to get an iPad just to accomplish some productive document editing. At minimum, I'd like an efficient means of manipulating blocks of text from within the same file or between two files. Thanks all for any additional thoughts.

Also, what is the text selection process with a bluetooth keyboard? I have an Apple keyboard, and I'd like to be able to select blocks of text. Am I correct that this works with a combination of arrow keys and the Command key? Thanks for any information.
