Editing—Cut, Copy, and Paste
The Multi-Touch screen makes it easy to make changes to text you’ve entered. An onscreen magnifying
glass helps you position the insertion point precisely where you need it. Grab points on selected text let
you quickly select more or less text. You can also cut, copy, and paste text and photos within apps, or
across multiple apps.
Position the insertion point: Touch and hold to bring up the magnifying glass, then drag to
position the insertion point.
Select text: Tap the insertion point to display the selection buttons. Tap Select to select the
adjacent word, or tap Select All to select all text. You can also double-tap a word to select it. In
read-only documents such as webpages, touch and hold a word to select it. Drag the grab points to
select more or less text.
Cut or copy text: Select text, and then tap Cut or Copy.
Paste text: Tap the insertion point, and then tap Paste to insert the last text that you cut or copied.
Or, select text, then tap Paste to replace the text.
Undo the last edit: Shake the iPad 2 and select Undo Typing on the popup that appears.
