Brian, I've recently discovered this works for my tablet (android).
If you want to copy text, tap and hold anywhere in the text. 2 little blue blocks appear and you can drag those around to highlight the text you want to copy. At the top of the page you'll have a tab which says "copy" so tap that.
To paste the words, tap and hold where you want to paste the copied words. A single blue block appears and a tab saying "paste". Now just tap that and.. hey presto, your quote should appear!
Hope that helps, worth practising a few times to get it right.

Thanks Rocky and moulesy for your replies.
It is an android tablet and your explanation works well moulesy. Wow, it surely works well and is very sensitive to the touch, I've been practising on the tablet while reading your replies on the laptop and I've just turned the whole page blue.... You're right moulesy, practice needed
Thats what CT is all about, help when needed, thanks once again to both of you...

Something Android & Apple agree on, i C&P on my pad using the same technique. I expected it to be different as they rarely agree on anything. Everyday's a schoolday.
In my experience the Android system is fiddlier to use, Rocky, the Apple way flows easier.
