Thread: mark txt elements to copy & paste these

Just got my Diamond this week. Previously had the HTC Touch with WM 6.0 and got used to be able to mark parts of txt messages and emails (bigger than 1 word and smaller then the whole text) in order to copy & paste these somewhere else. However the HTC Touch Diamond2 with WM 6.1 seems to allow only 1 word or the whole text to be marked and copied & pasted respectively. Am I missing something here? Is it not possible to conveniently mark a fraction bigger than 1 word and smaller then the whole text anymore?

by this occasion, can somebody advise which app to use in order to copy sms from my old to my new htc?

i would really appreciate a reply on these questions!

thanks

yeah, I hate this too.. Also can anyone tell me how to get the basic keyboard features of copy and paste using ctrl + c and ctrl + p. also where is the TAB function????


Thanx

@Deneo:
If you open your mail to read it, on the bottom you have "Menu". Touch it. In my german version there is a point called 'Text auswählen', I don't know how it's called in the english version, maybe 'select text'. It's just the point above 'mark all unread'. When you touch it, it's activated and you can mark the text. Then tap+hold the marked text and choose copy....and so on.

To copy your sms from old to new I use PIMOrganizer from EVOLENS

It's free and very useable.
