Copy and paste

How do copy and paste on iPhone 4

 

[DaveM]

From the manual (imagine that):

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 to select a word. In read-only documents, such as webpages, or email or text messages you've received, touch and hold to select a word. Drag the grap points to select more or less text.

Cut or copy text: Select text, then tap Cut or Copy.

Paste text: Tap the insertion point and tap Paste. The last text that you cut or copied is inserted. Or select text and tap Paste to replace the text.

The manual can be found for download at:

Apple - Support - Manuals

There is also a manual available through Safari on your phone. In your bookmarks look for iPhone User Guide.

You Press down on the screen at the beginning of the letter of the word(s) you are copy and it will say select, select all, cut. Then you select what you want by gliding your finger over the text select copy or cut and then when you get to where you want to paste you press down until the paste option comes up. At least that's how I do it.
