How do I highlight text so I can copy & paste?

Press and hold at the beginning of the section you'd like to copy. A box will pop up with options to select all our copy.

To select a certain section, drag the right arrow until it's highlighted, then choose copy. To paste, press and hold again. You will now have options to select all, copy, cut, or paste.

The markers at either side of the selected text are kind of like handles.  Grab one and move it.  It can be kind of difficult at times.  I usually double-tap on the first word which selects the whole world, then adjust the trailing handle.

Having not used Android-based devices in the paste, I also had this problem. When in doubt, press and hold.
