OK, I have an IPhone 4S, an IPad 1st Generation, an IPad 3rd Generation, and
an IPad Mini. So, as you probably can guess, I am quite an I O S Guru.
Having said that though, this is one thing, that to this very day still
puzzles me. I know that in a text field, I can turn my rotor to "Edit", and
then one finger flick down to select all, double tap, then one finger flick
down to copy, or cut, and double tap. Then go to another text box, make
sure I'm on "Edit", then one finger flick to paste, and double tap. But
here's where the, yeah, but... comes in. Let's say that I'm in the Mail
app, and I've just opened up an e-mail, oh, what the heck, we'll just say
from my friend. He's giving me his flight
itinerary number, what concorse he'll be in, etc. I need to e-mail the
information to my mother who's going to be picking him up. Again, this is
just a ficticious example, but it does stand my point in perfect context.
Yeah, I could forward my mother the entire e-mail, but why? When I open the
e-mail, obviously the content of the e-mail isn't in a text field. So, how
could I select a block of text from that message, then copy it? Here's
another example. Say I'm on Safari, and I see a web site that has some good
information about a particular topic. How would I then select just that one
paragraph then somehow copy it, so I could then paste it into a text, or
e-mail, etc?
OK, I'll give you that in Mail, I guess one sollution would be to go like I
was going to reply/forward the message, then I would have a full on text
field, then could select all, copy the whole e-mail, compose a new message,
address it, then put my subject, then paste the body, then delete the
aronious unneeded stuff accordingly, but, man oh man! that's a lotta work
just to copy one little part of the mail! With Safari, I'm even more!
clueless how I'd do that seeing there's no way what so ever that I know of
to force the html content into a text element area. I know there has to be
a way to do this! Surely Apple didn't forget a feature as necessary as
this! LOL!
Thank you kindly,
