How to Copy and Paste on a Droid

To Copy:

1.  In a text entry box: touch & hold, get a menu.

2.  On a web page:  Menu --> More --> Select Text, then over-select the area you want, (you can then trim it down to what you wanted AFTER you paste it)

3.  In a Gmail email:  Open slider keyboard, Hold Down the "Shift" (capital letters) Key, then over-select the area you want, (you can then trim it down to what you wanted AFTER you paste it).  The text is automatically copied to your Clipboard.

To Paste:

Simply touch and hold the text entry box.  Select Paste.

( If you want to delete what's there first:   Touch and hold the text entry box, then select "Select All", then press your DEL key, then touch and hold the text entry box again, select Paste. )
