and press “enter.” Or, you can press “enter-a (dot 1)” to activate this
function without calling up the menu.
7.4.2 Start Selection
The “start selection” function allows you to select a certain portion of
text that you would like to edit. When you use the “start selection”
function, the cursor will appear as blinking “dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.”
The “start selection” function allows you to make changes to only the
text that is located within the selection, and the changes will not affect
text outside of the selection. The “start selection” function is
especially useful for copying, cutting, and pasting. You can also use
the “start selection” function to create a selection of e-mail messages.
You can make a selection in a document if you place the cursor on
the location where you want to start the selection of text. If you want
to use this function, press “space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the
“edit” menu, and then press “enter” on “start selection,” or you can
press “b (“dots1-2”)” in the “edit” menu to get to the function. While
editing a document, pressing “enter-b (dots 1-2)” will activate this
function. The end point of the selection is where you place the cursor
after setting the starting point. For example, if you have typed the
word, “mother” in a document, and you want to select the word
mother, you should place the cursor before the letter “m,” and then
place the cursor directly after the letter “r.” Then, you will have
selected the entire word.
7.4.3 Copy
The “copy” function is only available when you have an email open.
After making a selection in an email, press “space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or
“F2” to open the menu, and move to “edit” by pressing “space-4.”
Press “enter” to open the “edit” menu. Press “space-4” to move to
“copy” and then press “enter,” or press “c (dots 1-4)” in the “edit”
menu. While editing a document, pressing “enter-c (dots 1-4)” will
activate this function.
If you copy the selection, it will be copied to the clipboard. The
clipboard is the virtual space that is used for storing copied data
temporarily. However, if you decide to copy another selection, the
data in the clipboard that you copied before will be erased, and the
