Difficulties copy and pasting

[ShaggyKids]

Is there a trick to a copy pasting on the N7? I have tried and tried and tried to copy sentences or paragraph so that I can save then paste elsewhere. It just doesn't want to seem to capture the text.

I start at one end with one finger go to the other end with the other finger touch and or push down slightly and it will not highlighted text. I get these blue book mark looking things but that's it. What am I doing wrong?

The best way is to long press on the text field you want to copy, when arrows appear select text you want to copy then select highlighted field. I have no problems doing it.

Just move the blue tabs to highlight the start and finish positions that you want to copy, then look at the op of page and press the 'copy' button, then navigate to where you want to paste and press the 'paste' button at the top of the page.

Copy worked fine until the latest upgrade. It now loses the begin/end darts frequently.
