Step 1: Locate the Desired Text

Open the web page, note, email, or other file that contains the text that you are wanting to copy. To zoom-in on the text, place two fingers on the screen and slowly move them apart from each other. To zoom-out, move your fingers closer together. Position the text you are wanting to copy in the center of the screen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LUv4t12pCE

Step 2: Copy the Text

Press one finger on the screen over the text that you would like to copy. One word will automatically be highlighted and a button that says "copy" will appear. There will be two cursors, one on either side of the highlighted word. Use your finger to drag one of the cursors over the text until all of the desired words are highlighted. Press the "copy" button.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LUv4t12pCE

Once you have found the spot that you would like to paste your text, press your finger down on the screen until a "paste" button appears.
