Can you copy and paste text in iPhone?

If you are sending text to someone, and then want to send it to someone else, the easiest way to do this on other smart phones is to copy and paste the text. This doesn't seem to be possible on the iPhone. Is it possible?
Thanks.

It has been said before - and many times: how deeply disappointing! And that Apple still hasn't come up with a software update to take care of this is even more disappointing. Get an address by email and try to put into the map widget . . . you have to write it down on paper. That's what we got iPhones for? It's the first time Apple has come up with a device that can do less than we'd expect.

  • Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either???

    Select, Copy and Paste text - the iPhone can't do that either??? OK, this is pretty lame...the iPhone does not allow you to select, copy or paste text in SMS, Notes, Safari or Mail. Is this just a oversight on the part of Apple?

    Apple left out a LOT of basic functionality from the iPhone. I think they believe that the 'sexiness factor' will far outweigh the need for functionality in getting this phone to sell. For the most part they were right. Now that most of us have realized what this phone cannot do, and that the honeymoon is over (well, for the most part) I hope that Apple will do include some of that basic functionality in future updates. I also hope that the 3G phone is not the answer to this because that will leave out a lot of users who want these basic features but who dont really want 3G.

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

  • Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

    I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

    Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

  • I can't copy and paste text from a website. Why is this?

    On any website I go to, when I highlight and try to copy text from the body of the page with my mouse, nothing happens.

    Is this a recent problem...after the last update on Oct. 27, 2010? Were you able to copy and paste before the 27th?
    My optical marble mouse has had a breakdown from the update. No longer can I do a smooth scroll in Mozilla. However, I can in I.E. and Outlook Express. I posted on the 28th.

  • Can You Copy and Paste Attributes in FCPX?

    I'm just getting started with my FCPX training, (after years of edidting in FCP).  I frequntly use the "copy and paste attributes" feature in FCP, (say you make some adjustments to a clip, you can copy these attributes and paste them on to another clip).  VERY SLICK and USFULL.  Does anybody know how this is done in FCPX?  Thanks

    Similar though you don't have the same level of control as you'll notice. Copy the clip you want to use as the source and then Paste Effects- both from the Edit menu. This will copy over everything so plan things out if you want to use this feature.

  • Can you copy and paste appointments?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if you can copy an appointment and paste that appointment some where else in your calendar?

    I too expected to be able to copy and paste in the calendar. That would be one of the main purposes to having the feature. I guess Apple does not see the importance.

    Unfortunately the iPhone does not support Copy & Paste. Though as we have already seen, a great deal of functionality has already been added to the device via free software updates so it would be possible for it to be implemented in the future.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 on MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2: Can't Copy and Paste Text

    I can't pasted copied text into my "code" view in DW. I can copy that code/text to TextEdit or the like but I can NOT paste it into DW. Help please!

    Has it ever worked for you on this system?
    If so, when did it stop?
    You have the latest update for Dreamweaver installed?
    Check this by going to the Dreamweaver > About Dreamweaver menu option. For CS5, that should be Build 4993.
    Click Help > Updates to get updates; alternatively, you can download from here to install: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates
    Does Command+'V' and Edit > Paste both fail to paste for you?
    How about Edit > Paste Special?
    Also, where are you copying from?
    e.g. web browser, Word, etc.

  • I can't copy and paste text into photoshop because the copy paste option is acting up

    Let me explain. I found some text on a website I wanted to us for my project so I copied it into a text box that I made in photoshop. I edited the text to my liking and then hilighted the entire text. When I go to copy the text by right clicking and then clicking on copy it just pastes the original text from the website I got it from instead of copying the edited text. I even tried ctrl+ C and it still pasted the original text not copy the one I edited. Last resort- I re-edited my text and go to edit and click copy. Still no fix it just pastes the original text. For some reason photoshop is thinking that the copy option is a paste option. I have no idea why this is or how to fix this. This was not happening about an hour ago so I have no idea why this is happening. I even tried restarting my laptop and I even tried a test in a completely new photoshop document and it still does this. How do I fix this? I have photoshop CS4 currently installed. Help is appreciated.

  • Can you copy and paste?

    Greetings.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to just highlight a part of a clip in one sequence and paste it into another sequence?
    Normal;y what I do is use the blade tool on the part of the clip I want click on that to highlight the section, copy and then paste it into the new sequence. I've also added in and out points in the viewer, copied that and then paste into new sequence, but then I need to delete in/out points when I'm done.
    Just wondering if there is a short cut I'm missing.
    Thanks.
    Jonathan

    There's an even faster way to do it with one of the selection tools. Not at my edit bay now, but will post when I'm back in the studio. Basically, you can select just a portion of a clip to apply a filter or whatever to just that section of it. Forget the name of the tool, but learn it's keyboard shortcut and it's awesome. Again, will post when I'm back in the studio, unless someone else knows it right off the bat.
