I find I need to copy text from Gmail or a website sometimes and I have yet to figure out a way to do it. I can easily copy text from a text entry box but if it is just text on a page or email you cant bring up a Select Text option. Is there any way to do this?
On browser,
Menu > More > Select Text
Gmail,
Not there yet. Try check via Browser when you need to copy text. You should still be able to paste in the gmail app
Yeah, this is in the sticky. Froyo brings copy/paste to gmail.

Can soemone explain to me how Copy & Paste works on the D2?
I cant seem to get it to work consistently, am I missing something?
On the D1 you hold and get a menu to copy, with D2 it appears hidden somewhere else
I use text messaging heavily for work, so this could be a deal-breaker
When you are in text messages, click MENU and click SELECT TEXT. Then you can select what you want to copy.
No idea why HTC changed the way of copy paste.. it was annoying for me too to find the copy/paste function.
in New Contact Card
in New Contact Card how to copy and paste? since lots of asian online auction use the same company/ email name would be much easier just to type it once and then copy it. i'm able to highlight but get no menu poping with options
you can copy paste with almost any keyboard:
fingerkeyboard: shift+longpress c/v
spb keyboard: control+c/v
default keyboard: control+c/v
paste hyperlink
Hi,
I seem to have an issue pasting from Opera (address bar) to email.
I can copy b
y holding on the address bar and selecting copy but it it not on the clipboard to paste in email.
Does this work for you guys?
When you open the "Messaging.lnk" in the programs menu it asks you if you want to open sms / mms or email.
i would like to know how to create a shortcut directly to mms / sms, like
when you open the sms tab on the manila and hit "All Messages" it opens the sms / mms window directly.
thanks
there's an option within the messaging application's preferences that allows you to not have to pick sms vs email everytime you open it, that should solve it
Is it possible to copy and paste text that's in an email or on a webpage? It seems I can only copy links by tapping on them and holding, or when you have a text entry box it also seems to work, but what about a chunk of text in an email you've received or on a website? Seems like a pretty basic function, if even windows mobile could manage it.
In browser app, press menu, then the last button, then the "select text" voice (I've an italian one, sorry), it will be automatically copied to clipboard so you can paste it everywhere. I've not yet found a way to copy text from mail app, but you can open mail from browser anyway, following the same procedure
Thanks, works perfectly in the browser, and in text messages you can touch and hold the message to copy all its text. Unfortunately I usually need it more in email, and would take less time to re-write than log into webmail and copy. Seems like an oversight really, if it works in the broswer why can't they make it work elsewhere
I do like the swipe feature that enables you to read the headers of downloaded messages but is there a quick way of deleting messages rather than opening up the mail program and going menu>delete for each message?
You could try MS' MyPhone..even better, you could archive them so the text messages are accesible online.
You sync your phone first with MyPhone, do the archiving/deleting on the web..sync again..and you're done.
If you scroll further down in the popup after tapping "Menu", you get the option "select messages", then either "all", "all below", or "various" (but those are my own translations, the real English version may differ).
I'm having issues coping and pasting issues for example I can copy text in Web Brower but can't post into messages like text or vice versa. Can't copy links from browser?
Use chrome

If you can copy, but not paste, the issue is probably with the app you're trying to paste into. Try a different text messaging app and see if it works.

This.
Also, certain apps only allow you to copy certain things (for some reason). For example, I use Textra as my sms app and they don't allow you to copy individual text within a message, only the whole message itself. I also use some apps for my business that do not allow copying at all.
What bugs me is I can copy text from the integrated browser but cant paste the text on the top where the Url goes or can't copy a url in the browser to text it or paste it.?? Or I can copy a text or image in browser but can't paste it into a text message on the phone text app. I was able to do all this on the S6. I have found a lot of places I was able to copy/paste/cut on the S6 that I can't on the S7. It's very frustrating!!:crying:
