Let go and a menu should pop up with options. Press "Select" to highlight that one word. Press "Select All" to highlight everything. If you want to highlight some but not all, choose, "Select" and then you should be able to press with your finger on the handles at each end of the word. Drag to highlight more text. This will most likely take some practice. <img id="smileywink" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.png" alt="Smiley Wink" title="Smiley Wink" /> <P>To paste, move to the spot where you want to paste the copied text or image and do the long press with your finger in that spot.
