Editing text blocks

You can copy and erase text blocks of any size, and insert them at
other locations. Before any of these actions, you must first select
the desired text block:

To select a text block, move the cursor to the first character of
the text you wish to select

Press the SELECT BLOCK soft key

Move the cursor to the last character of the text
you wish to select. You can select whole lines
by moving the cursor up or down directly with
the arrow keys—the selected text is shown in a
different color

After selecting the desired text block, you can edit the text with the
following soft keys:
