Hi 

I don't believe that this is possible. You can only select text where it is 
editable. So for example if you wish to select some text that is in an email 
you've been sent, you would first have to setup a reply to the email. This 
makes the text editable and you then can go through and select some of it. 

You can make a selection by doing a pinch out gesture. The text will be 
selected in increments of either character, word or line dependant upon your 
current rota setting. You can also do a select all by setting the rota to Edit 
and then flicking up.

I don't know of anyway of selecting text on a web page directly. I guess you 
could email the page to yourself and then do the Reply trick as outlined above.

Cheers
Garth
