Hi Folks,

How does one copy text from a web page? For example if I wanted to copy a line from an web email or page.

I was trying with the stylus to click and drag but that just scrolls the page. Thanks in advance!

On top of this page you'll find a row of words (white text in a blue bar); the sixth item from the left is marked "search"; click it and type "selecting text" in the input field, then click the "go" button.

You'll see a list of threads that are related to your search term, not far down you'll find the one that gives you an instant answer to your question. I could tell you which one, but that'd ruin the surprise.

Now, this search function isn't too bright, even in its "advanced" incarnation, so often you might have to type two or three different versions of your search term before you get a relevant answer. Still, it beats being yelled at for asking basic questions that have been answered a gazillion times before, don't you think?
