No, I just tried my theory. this isn't working in the least. Moving one finger while leaving the other alone on the screen had no barings.

Sorry for the delayed response. Ok, are you hearing anything
specifically when you try the pinch out gesture?

I just tried this again in both Mail and Safari on my iPhone5, with no problems.

Take care.

It does not work for me rather. it acts like I"m turning the rotor. This is one set of jesters i cannot master due to wrist problems and I really wish
apple would have come up with a  better way to do this all from the edit
rotor. using swipe down jesters. I've suggested this to them but so far no
go.

Be blessed.

Collin,

That is exactly what I was doing, but the pinching gesture isn't working.

Hi Chris!
OK you know when you pinch your thumb and finger together!
If you put them at the beginning of the word you wish to select and
keeping them on the screen just open them or to deselect put them on
screen opened and pinch together!
Does this help!
Of course if you got it set to line then you will of course select each
line! *smile*

Actually, I don't completely understand. I understand about moving the
rotor to whatever, lines, words, etc. but I'm not getting the whole
thing about separating two fingers.

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 centre 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!

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!
