Читать книгу iPad and iPad Pro For Dummies - Paul McFedries - Страница 38

You can select and copy (or cut) content from one place on the iPad and then paste it elsewhere, just like you can with a Mac or PC. You might copy text or a URL from the web and paste it into an email or a note. Or you might copy a bunch of pictures or video into an email.

Here’s how you to exploit the copy-and-paste feature:

1 Select a word by tapping and holding down on it or double-tapping it.iPadOS selects the word and displays the Edit menu just above the selection. If you don’t see the Edit menu, tap the selection.

2 Drag the grab points (also called grab handles) to select a larger or smaller block of text.The grab points, which are vertical lines connected to circles, appear to the left and right of the selected text, as shown in Figure 2-3. The tininess of the grab points means that dragging them may take a little practice.

3 Tap Copy.If you were deleting text from a document you created, instead of copying and pasting, you would tap Cut instead.FIGURE 2-3: Drag the grab handles to select text.

4 Open the app into which you want to paste the copied text.

5 Position the cursor where you want to insert the text you just copied, and then tap the cursor.Up pops the Edit menu, a version of which is shown in Figure 2-4. (The commands you see vary by app.)

6 Tap Paste to paste the text into the document.

FIGURE 2-4: Tap Paste and text will appear.

If you make a mistake when you were cutting, pasting, or typing, shake the iPad. Doing so undoes the last edit (provided that you tap the Undo Paste or Undo option when it appears and keep the shake feature enabled in Settings ⇒ Accessibility ⇒ Touch ⇒ Shake to Undo).

You might also see these options:

 Auto-Correct: If you happen to select a word with a typo, the iPad might underline that word. If you tap the underlined word, the iPad might show you one or more words it thinks you meant to spell (or you see No Replacements Found). Tap a suggested word to accept it.

 Predict: A predictive word feature reveals up to three word or phrase options in buttons just above the keyboard. If one of these words or phrases is what you had in mind, tap the appropriate button.

 Replace: The iPad might show you possible replacement words. For example, replacement words for test might be fest, rest, or text. Tap the word to substitute it for the word you originally typed.

 Indent Right or Left: Pretty self-explanatory. With this option, you can indent highlighted text to the right or left.

 Look Up: Tap your selected word for a definition, courtesy of the New Oxford American Dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary of English, an Apple dictionary, or a foreign language dictionary if you’ve downloaded any dictionaries onto your iPad. Look Up goes well beyond definitions and includes searches that extend to the App Store, Apple Music, Twitter, the web, Wikipedia, and more.
