How do you cut and paste with an iPad?

2. This is what I do.

Run my finger on the screen over the block of type I want to “cut”. Go from top left to bottom right or bottom right to top left. It should highlight the type you want to “cut” with a blue block. This can be tricky and takes a little practice, sometimes holding your finger down for a second or two when starting the highlighting process helps get it going.

When you lift your finger off the screen, a black bar should appear at the top of your blue block with words in white such as “copy”, “cut”, “search”, etc. Tap on “copy”. The black bar will disappear after you do that. Then tap on the area where you want to attach the block of type. You will see the words “paste,” “select”, “select all”, etc. Tap on “paste” and your type block should appear.
