Hello: To select text in other places rather than an edit field, you just need to set your rotor on the mode you will select; let's say, words, sentences, lines, etc. When you have it, just pace your cursor, with your finger flick down or up at the start of the block of text you want to select. Then, separate 2 fingers from the center of the screen, and each time you separate them, you will select a block. If your rotor was on words, you will select word by word each time you separate your fingers, if it is on lines, you will then go line by line. I hope I am being clear and that this information helps you. Take care! Best regards,
