Copy and Paste

[j2inet]

How do I copy and Paste on a Windows Mobile Standard phone?  I've figured out how to select my text, but I've no clue what to do to copy it.   

I've been using touch screen devices since PocketPC 2002 but this is my first time using a non-touchscreen device as my primary.

Did you try holding down the center of the d pad to copy (same as you hold down the stylus once you've selected on touch screen models)?

Just tried it.  From what I see the center button and the enter button are indistinguishable from each other.  It replaces the selected text with a new line character.

I dunno then. My experience with a non touch screen device is limited.

Ditto.  This is my first time really using a Standard device as my primary (I've been using Professional/PocketPC since 2002).  I get the feeling that it's not really supported. If that is the case then I am surprised no one caught it during the iPhone copy/Paste argumentum ad nasuem.

Found it.  It looks that for Windows Mobile Standard it is up to the developer to add a Copy option to the menu.  When the developer does not do this then you cannot copy text.

Well that sucks. But glad you found out how it works.
