Chastity, I'll add a couple of comments to Daniel's reply below. Your questions involve the use of the rotor, that's spelled r o t o r, not order as Daniel stated in his message. The rotor is accessed by a gesture that is like turning a knob. What is presented when you access the rotor will be a function of where focus happens to be and what you have turned on to be available as rotor options in the settings menu. You access these settings through Settings, General, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Rotor. You select the various options by placing focus on each and double tapping. VoiceOver should announce selected for the ones you have marked as you cycle through the list.
Selecting text is one of the most difficult things I've found on my iPhone. Daniel is correct about pinching out to select and pinching in to de-select text. I believe you should use the rotor to first set the level of text you desire to select. For example, you would place the rotor setting on words if you want to select a word at a time. Other choices you might consider could be lines or characters. Again, make sure you have everything turned on in settings that you want to be available in the rotor. After the text you want has been selected, you should cycle the rotor until VoiceOver announces Edit. Then you can swipe up or down with one finger for VoiceOver to announce the Edit options which are available. When it says copy, you would double tap to copy the selected text. When you get to the location where you want to put it, go to the rotor again by doing the knob turn gesture. It should still be on Edit but you can do the knob-turn gesture to confirm that. Then, you would do a one-finger swipe up or down until you hear paste and then you would double tap to paste it. I hope this helps but post back if you have other questions or if you come up with an easy way to make the text selection process work better. I'd love to hear it.

You pinch outward to select text, and pinch inwardly to deselect text. It's honestly a really confusing gesture, which is why i hardly ever use it, and just use a bluetooth keyboard. As far as copying the pasting text into another document, you use the order. To access that, rotate 2 fingers on the screen like you're turning a dial until you hear "edit." Flick down with one finger until you hear copy, double tap, and then go to the document you want to paste into, use the order to select paste, and double tap. Secondly, when you set up your email, it should've set it up as imap, which will keep everything in sync across your phone and computer. I hope this helps.

I wanted to know, how to select text? Also, how do you copy and paste the text into another document? Concerning mail, I have just set up my email to come to my iPhone, as of today. What I would like to know is, if I receive a message, that I would like to have on my computer as well, in my email client, if it comes to my phone, how do I ensure that. I have a copy of it on my computer as well? Would I have to forward it to myself? Or is there another way to do that?
