Selecting Text
You can select a word or a passage of text. Once you have selected a word,
you can look it up in the on-device dictionary. You can also select words or
passages for highlighting, and making notes.
To select a word or a passage of text, press and hold on a word and then lift
your finger.
The word appears highlighted, and two vertical bars will appear on either
side of it, defining the start and end of the selected text.
Selecting Additional Text
To select an entire passage, rather than just a word, select the word that you
want to have at the beginning or end of the selected passage and drag the
vertical bar that’s closest to the direction in which you want to extend the
selection. Drag the vertical bar until you have selected the passage you
want.
When you lift your fingers after resizing the text selection, the Text
Selection Toolbar reappears.
Using the Text Selection Toolbar
Once you have highlighted a word or a passage, the Text Selection Toolbar
appears. This Toolbar offers you the following choices:
• Add Note (the notepad icon) – Opens a window for writing a note
about the selected word or passage.
• Highlight (the shaded circle icon) – Lets you highlight a word or
passage.
• Look Up (the A-Z icon) – Displays a dictionary definition of the
selected word.
