I tried using the pinch gesture in a text file in my dropbox but didn't know what to listen for to know that I did it correctly. What should I hear when I do the gesture correctly? *** When you give unto others whether or not they give to you in return, It matters not for your job is Complete and your rewards forthcoming.

Once text has been selected, Edit usually appears in the rotor. I do this fairly regularly. In a few places, edit does not appear. I suspect text is copy-protected in these few instances.

I am not sure if as a sighted person it is possible to copy text in, for example, Safari, but I also think it would be nice if one could copy text anywhere.

Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 4:47 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Help Still Needed Selecting and Copying Text I am still having difficulty selecting and copying text on my iPhone 5. I often want to copy a word, sentence, etc. from an online newspaper article I'm reading in order to message it to someone. I've finally gotten where I can get close to selecting the applicable text using the pinch gesture. I thought at that point I needed to use the rotor to select edit, copy but there is no edit option on the rotor when I'm reading an online article and it is definitely turned on in the settings. So can someone tell me how I would do this? Thanks for any help you can offer. Alan Lemly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
