Hi Kathren, Its a bit finicky, but it does work. Flick the button that says to select text startat … Double-tap there, then flick down with 1 finger to select by word or 3 fingers and it will select in chunks until you want to stop. Then double tap and a menu will come up and choose copy and then go where you need to paste it.
If you need any help, I can set up a quick zoom call if you need.
