Cut, copy, and paste information
You can copy any selectable text, and you can cut any selectable text that
you entered, for example, in a memo or an email. This includes text you can
select by dragging the cursor and paragraphs you can select by tapping
them (see Text selection gestures).
1 Select the text you want to cut or copy (see Text selection gestures).
2 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Cut or Copy.
3 Open the app and insert the cursor where you want to paste the text
(see Text selection gestures).
4 Open the application menu and tap Edit > Paste.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy, and paste. After selecting
the text or inserting the cursor, press and hold the gesture area; the lighted
bar begins to pulse and glow more brightly. Then press X (cut), C (copy), V
(paste), or A (select all, in the apps that support this feature). A notification
appears that the text has been successfully cut, copied, or selected.
Use the Copy All or Select All feature
Some applications offer a Copy All menu option. For example, in Messaging,
you can start or open a conversation, open the application menu, and tap
Edit > Copy All. This saves the entire conversation as plain text, which you
can paste in a memo, email message, and so on.
Other apps offer a Select All menu option. For example, in Memos, you can
open a memo, open the application menu, and tap Edit > Select All. This
highlights the full memo text, which you can cut or copy.
Some apps, such as Contacts and Email, offer both the Copy All and Select
All features to perform different text selection tasks. See the app section for
details.
