You can Cut, Copy and Paste text on your iPad/iPhone just like you can on your computer. You will need to Paste the text you Cut or Copy immediately, you can NOT store up multiple snippets to Paste at one time. You will need to Copy and then Paste text or images one at a time. In this example we will copy text from a web page and paste it into an e-mail message. This is shown using iPhone with iOS 8. This process works the same on iPad and iPhone.
