Hi, You have to get focus onto the word you are interested in. Do the double tap and hold gesture on that word until you here the tones. Turn the rotor to Edit. Flick up or down until you hear Define. Then, double tap. I just did that and it worked fine. You can't do this from an external keyboard.

Hi, I know this sort of thing comes up regularly, but I still haven't mastered it! I know how to edit when writing in various apps, this is not my problem. I am wanting to use the onboard dictionary to define a word which is in an email that I have received. I tried to select the word from the body of the message but found I could only do this if I activated the "reply" option and then I could select the word, but how then to get the 'define" option under edit to appear? I know I have seen it at other times, but I still find all this very hit and miss. Does anyone have a simple and reliable method to do this? I am trying with both the virtual and Bluetooth keyboards. Thanks, Sandy. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
