That is not correct. I've selected text from Emails, web pages, etc. The select all is questionable on the text selection. I find turning to text selection, flicking down to line selection, then flicking right through the text I want, then turning to edit, and flicking down to copy works every time. You have to start from the beginning of what you want to copy. Page selection can work, but I find their definition of a page to not be very helpful. Richard
