Jenny, you first must be in and edit field. You will want to choose character word or line. Then place your index and middle fingers in the middle of the screen. To select a character, word or line, spread your fingers slowly apart. If you are selecting by line, you will hear all of the line spoken or maybe just the last few words. You will lift your fingers, put them together and put them back on the screen and spread them apart again to select more lines. Some people have found other maneuvers to accomplish this, such as putting both for fingers on the screen and pulling them apart. I have not had luck with that method. If you find that you have selected a line too many, you can simply squeeze your fingers back together to unselect that character, word or line. Once you think you have selected all necessary, then use the rotor to get to edit and flip your finger up or down to select copy or cut, etc.
Hope this helps some. It does take some practice and some frustration, too.
