select copy drag past

Who's going to help me.
In the Dutch windows version Its not possible to slect text with the stylus and then copy past or drag it to another part of the screen.
Not even in word....
Is their an setting or a reg tweak?
All other pda's are capable of doing this exept for the Rhodium (tuch pro 2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by the way. Its a striped down version of the Touch pro.

They riped of:
-the radio
-MP3 Trimmer
-zip
-the flash light
- drag copy past
-the one finger control wheel
-voice tags
-voice recorder
so I'm not very pleased with the Pro2

In which app? In threaded sms you just have to tap and hold a little longer before you drag the cursor. In email, the same, if you want to be easier you can point to menu - select text first. In opera just point, hold until pop up menu, choose text selection on. Just remember to revert to text selection off afterwards or it may get in the way when you intend to default mode of touchflo,i.e: scroll.
Juz fyi that i reply your thread on my TP2, select, copy, cut, all the way

Please CMIIW, rip is when someone steal from you, or lie before selling, right? Now i never stumble upon any features mentioned before i buy my TP2
And actually from list you mentioned, only flash light and scroll wheel not available. The others are only problem for you to SEARCH and LEARN.
G'luck, buddy!

You have to toggle on "Select Text" mode if you want to select text by dragging in the Messaging app.
In Word, you can just do it. Drag with the stylus or your finger nail. If you drag with your finger, you will just scroll.

TAP Select Drag paste - Help with win 6pro bug -
It's in all the programs and applications.
its not the cursor but the text
for instance Word. Its not possible to tap, drag and select text.
Please note. I used several PDA's before the Touch pro 2. All of them had a windows version allouwing me to select text with the stylus.
The pro 2 doen'st have the possibillity.
It must be a Windows bug.
for instance the agenda. If I want to move a appointment several hours I did it with the stylus. Tap hold and move.
On the aganda of the pro 2 the entyre screen moves. You cant move a singel appointment.
WhO......... gana help me out.

When in a message, click 'Menu', 'Select Text' and you will be able to select the text you require.
I must admit that this does appear to be a step backwards. I was quite happy with the way the TyTnII handled it where by you had to leave the stylus down for a few moments and then drag to select anything.
Unfortunatly, with this new method, there are some things that simply are not possible. Like, for example, dragging and dropping appointments in Calendar, dragging and dropping files in Explorer etc.
I would happily go back to the old method if possible...

Dude, stop panicking. Your spelling, grammer, and sentence structures are all messed up!
I've answered your query on how to tap&drag to select text in MS Word in the above post.

I agree with that. This is not an issue at all. It works fine. The reason you have to hold longer is because it makes slide switching much faster. e.g going to the next or previous emails etc...

I understand Phones frustration, although I'm maybe dealing with it a little better!
Just to give 2 examples where I see issues with this new method...
1) In File Explorer you cannot select multiple files using finger or stylus. In fact, I can't even see the option to 'Select Several' like you have in Email/SMS.
2) When in an application that does support 'Select Several' it's not as easy as it was previously to select lots. For example, I could highlight and scroll at the same time before. I then used 'Ctrl' on the soft keyboard to the select another lot.
In general, I understand why it has been applied, to make finger control easier, however, I prefer the older version.

In the default File Explorer (and in most other apps including Messaging), you can hold the Ctrl key on the hardware keyboard and then tap the items you want to select. Alternatively, if the objects you want selected are in order, you can use the Shift key.
Btw, Resco File Explorer supports dragging to select items. Just wanted to throw that out there as an alternative you may consider.

Verizon TP2 - Selecting Text Issues

Hey gang,
I'm driving a Verizon TP2 with the standard ROM, TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38420.2 out of the box with WinMo 6.1. I'm still fairly new to WinMo and the TP2 and am having some frustration with selecting text, mainly with trying to select text that extends beyond the visible screen. I can select text that's on the screen easily enough, but when the text I want to select extends either above or below what's visible on the screen, I can't figure out how to get that extra bit of text.
For example, let's say I go into a sent email that has four total paragraphs of text, the first two of which are completely visible on the screen. I need to select and copy the first three paragraphs only. I can easily select the first two visible paragraphs, but I can't figure out how to scroll down and continue getting that third paragraph.
I've tried with my fingers and the stylus, with no luck. Once I have the visible text selected, if I scroll down with the scroll bar to get the text below, once I click on the text it deselects. I've also tried getting the screen to auto-scroll with the stylus as I'm selecting text, by keeping the stylus down at the bottom - much like you would with your mouse pointer in Outlook/Word on your computer - but it won't scroll.
I've read posts about using the shift and arrow keys, but I can't seem to make that work either. Selecting all the text, then copy/pasting that over and deleting the extra works in some situations but not all. I need to be able to select exactly and only the text I need before copy/paste.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I believe you have to map the shift function to a key and then go from there. Or you could highlight the first part, copy paste, scroll down, highlight the second part, copy paste.
I'm looking for a thread where someone asked a similar question

I'm going to give Rhodium Keyboard Controller GSM/CDMA v1.4 a try and see if that helps.
That being said, am I seriously *not* doing something stupid here? Is there really no built-in function to continue scrolling as you're selecting text with WinMo 6.1? I've really been enjoying WinMo 6.1 on my TP2 over my previous Blackberry experiences (including old non-touch and the Storm), but this seems like an amazing oversight.
Anyone know if this is corrected/included in WinMo 6.5?

Are you in TF3D or the standard windows view? In TF3d I cannot highlight any part of the message, I can only scroll. When I opened windows view (click all messages in the txt tab) I was able to touch click (hold down on screen) > "Make Selection" > and then highlight as much text as needed. It works exactly like excel and word mobile. I'm on Mighty Mikes 6.5 sense 2.1 rom.

It may very well be a 6.1 vs 6.5 issue...I just confirmed that the problem exists on my T-mobile TP2 as well, stock 6.1 ROM.
I tried everything I could think of, with no luck...except for one thing: if you have the keyboard open when you start to select text, you can use the arrow keys to scroll up/down. Of course, it's not exactly easy to do that and hold the stylus on the screen, but if you're using your fingertips to select text, you might be able to get away with that.

[Q] Easier text editing?

I have a stock E4GT. While entering words with Swype is great, unless I am missing something, I am finding editing already-entered text (in web fields, in the email app, in the gmail app, etc.) really annoying. Sometimes I get the annoying giant copy/paste/etc. toolbar which covers up most of the text field, making scrolling in it difficult. Sometimes, I can't move the cursor to a given location, either because the device insists on selecting a whole word rather than just moving the cursor or because for some reason things don't show up on the right line. The on-screen keyboard has no arrow keys for precise positioning. Often (especially in the email app) when I tap on a word further up and then try to tap on one of Swype's alternatives for it, the alternative doesn't replace the word I tapped, but occurs in some fairly random spot in the text field. Zooming in would help, but typically I can't zoom while editing a text field.
I really, really miss the ease and precision of editing text on the resistive screens of my Palms with a stylus, with an on-screen keyboard that has arrow keys (I used myKbd, which I wrote). Swype beats the Palm on-screen keyboard (but maybe not the Treo thumbboard) for speed of entry (and the Palm TX had some infamous hardware-based digitizer problems), but correcting stuff on the E4GT is really annoying.
Am I the only person who writes lengthy, thought-out emails?
Enough griping.
Question: Is there anything I can do to make editing text less painful?
Will ICS fix this? Is there some app, perhaps a root-requiring one, that improves text field editing?

[Q] S Note Capabilities

Is it posible to set an audible & visual reminder with the S Note App?
EG - Call for Milk On Way Home.. & set it to remind me @ 5pm with a pop up screen & an audio sound?
If so how is this done?
What other things can be done with the Note App.
Thanks

go to the full app if you use the popup version(arrow in the top-left corner), finish your note, press menu, and select "create event"
this will be done through your default calendar app.
as for special features: the only thing i can think of is the popup note, which you can launch from anywhere you want as a small hovering window, by tapping the screen twice while holding the S-pen button.

I am not sure if this is new, but in Picture Insertion Choices there is a choice called (Idea Sketch). it is so cool, i tried to write (Bird) & it gave me few birds pictures to insert! i chose one, & it has been inserted in my original note. That's really cool!
Also the -Knowledge Search- button is very useful.
In addition to the common known functions:
Handwriting to Text
Shape Match
Formula Match

[Q] S-Note: Edit existing textbox in handwriting mode?

Hi there
Just got my galaxy note 8 and loving it so far! Just one thing I cannot quite work out in S-Note (perhaps it is obvious but I've searched everywhere and it eludes me!)
If I create a text box using the handwriting-to-text productivity tool, and write something in it, it converts it to text. All fine so far.
but if I leave the text box and go do something else (like add a nice chart next to it), and then want to add more text to it or edit the textbox, I only seem to be able to do it using the text entry mode (i.e. with the keyboard).
I have tried having the box selected in the text mode, and then switch to the handwriting-to-text mode, but the textbox loses focus. And if I'm in handwriting-to-text mode and try to click on it to get it in focus, it doesn't work and instead creates a brand new textbox on top of it.
So basically: how do I edit a pre-existing textbox in handwriting-to-text mode??
I'm sure (I hope) that i'm missing something very obvious. Many thanks for your help!

Excellent, thank you!
I have the exact same issue!
If I'm writing in a box with "handwriting recognition" enabled and lift my pen / hand for a second and than return to continue writing where I left off, I can't figure out how to do it.... please look at the screenshot I made. It's in german, but what it says is basically "whenever I lift my hand and continue writing afterwards a new text box is created"
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Yoko

Instead of using handwriting recognition from productivity tool just use handwriting from keyboard, it works even better for me and is available system wide. You should be able to go back to text box and continue.

Ok after a lot of fiddling, i think I have the solution!
Go into text productivity mode, then long-press the textbox you want to edit. The context menu should pop up. Press again in the box to make the context menu go away, and you should now have the cursor in the textbox and still be in text productivity mode.
A bit convoluted but works.
