Editing Text
You can select, copy, or cut the text you’ve entered, then
paste it in another text field within the user interface.
Note: Some applications may offer different text editing methods.
Selecting text
1. Tap the text field.
2. Move the cursor to the beginning or end of the desired
text by tapping in the location you want the cursor.
3. Tap and hold the text field.
4. Tap Select word in the pop-up menu. (Or tap
Select all to select all the text in the text field.)
5. Drag your finger to move the text cursor to a
letter within the text that you want to select.
The selected text is highlighted in blue.
Cutting and copying the text
1. Double-click to select the text to cut or copy it.
2. Tap and hold the selected text.
3. Tap Cut or Copy in the menu that opens.
If you tap Cut, the selected text is removed from the text field. In this case, the
text is saved to the clipboard, so that you can paste it into another text field.
Pasting the text
1. Cut or copy the text to paste.
2. Tap the text field where you want to paste the text
and move the cursor to your desired location.
You can paste text that you copied from one application into the text field in any
other application.
3. Tap and hold then select Paste in the pop up menu.
The text is inserted after the cursor. The text also remains in the clipboard, so you
can paste that same text into another location.
