Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select.
2.
Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it (in yellow).
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

The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:

also reverses deletions you made using the backspace.
