Selecting, Copying, and Cutting Text
Just like with a regular computer, you can select text to copy, cut, and paste
in another location. When selecting text, you have three choices: select a single
word, select all of your text, or select just part of your text.
After you select text, you can delete it by tapping the Backspace key, or you
can cut or copy the selected text to paste it somewhere else.
Selecting a Single Word
You can select a single word in two ways. First, you can tap a word twice to select
it. Second, you can hold your finger on a word for a moment and then release.
When a menu appears, tap Select. To try selecting a single word, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Notes. The Notes screen appears.
2. Type a sentence of text.
