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 applications, or across
multiple applications.
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, then tap Cut or Copy.
Paste text: Tap the insertion point, 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 iPad, or tap undo on the keyboard.
