To answer the original question: I usually use the stylus to mark the words i want to copy from back to front, then use the keyboard to copy with ctrl+c and paste with ctrl+v.

Double-tap your stylus on the word or or phrase (URL, etc.) that you'd like to copy and it will highlight it. Then you can use the File->Edit method or the hardware keyboard on the N810. If you're highlighting editable text (in a form/text input field), the VBK option will become available on <N810.

You can also use shift+left/right (d-pad) to select. I also use ctrl+c and ctrl+v to copy paste. hexagondun, in which application are you trying to copy/paste?

Re: Can you...
 
after dragging the stylus or finger over the word/phrase to highlight it you can either go to file edit copy or on the virtual keyboard, hit the button that looks like a piece of paper with writing on it and an arrow pointing to it, and u can cut/copy/paste

you can also write the words down to a sheet of paper, switch to the other program, and type the words in again...

Get some glue, I prefer Elmers because of the taste not nutrition. Then get a scissors or a utlity knife and extract the words you want. Then use the glue to paste them where you want, remember TRY NOT TO EAT THE GLUE.
