Hi (again),

I was wondering if there was a way to select text on a webpage (to copy for pasting, etc.)... The default response of the stylus on the page is for navigation (i.e., dragging the screen). Is there a command that will put it into select mode?

(Sorry if this is a dumb question!)

Thanks,
Tim

You need to tap, tap-and-hold, and drag(basically, a double-tap where you don't lift your stylus after the second tap and drag to select). It's pretty finnicky to get it right tho'...

Also, you need to practice tapping in the right place where you want your selection to start.

Aha! Thank you! I knew it was something simple... I had tried that before, but when it didn't work, I gave up... After trying it a few times, I got it!

Thanks!
