With the release of Windows Mobile 6.1, Microsoft gives mobile users with standard (non-touchscreen devices) the ability to copy and paste, a shortcut that before had been limited to pro (touchscreen) users. All Mobile 6.1 devices are able to copy relevant text and then paste that text into another blank space with only a few clicks and with relative ease. This shortcut saves time and ensures accuracy.
Instructions
Standard Devices (non-touchscreen)
1. Open the program that contains the relevant text you want to copy and paste.
2. Click the right soft key button, currently assigned to "Menu." Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and click "Copy/Paste." In the next menu that pops up, click "Select text."
3. Place the cursor at the start of the relevant text.
