Edit menu
The Edit menu is available with any screen where you enter or edit
text. In general, commands available in the Edit menu apply to text
that you select in an application.
To select text in an application:
1. Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select.
2. Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it (in black).
Note: You can also double tap to select a word, or triple tap to
select a line of text.
You can also drag across the text to select additional
words, or drag down to select a group of lines.
The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:
Undo
Cut
Copy
Paste
Select All

example, if you used Cut to remove text, Undo
restores the text you removed. Undo also reverses
deletions done by using backspace.

in the memory of your handheld. You can paste the
text you cut into another area of the current
application or into a different application.
Copies the selected text and stores it temporarily in
the memory of your handheld. You can paste the text
that you copy into another area of the current
application or into a different application.

point in a record. The text you paste replaces any
selected text. If you did not previously cut or copy
text, Paste does nothing.
