The use of the touch screen of our iPad becomes a simple and easy option to interact with our touch tablet, thus becoming the only option we have to use the device, unless we place a Magic Keyboard with built-in keyboard and trackpad, or let’s use a mouse with compatible Bluetooth connectivity.
It is true that the use of an external keyboard can be even more useful when, for example, we tend to make intensive use of certain applications, such as a word processor (such as Pages or Word), Excel documents or we even just have a habit of taking lots of notes.
Although it is also true that there are those who have enough with the use of the touch keyboard that appears on the screen.
However, it is possible that on occasions we have encountered the problem of needing to copy a certain text , to later paste it in a note, in an email or, precisely, in a word processor.
Although with the help of an external keyboard and a trackpad (or wireless mouse), it can be very simple, the truth is that it is enough to use the touch screen to do everything necessary . How? It is very simple.
How to Copy Text on iPad Easily
If you already have an iPhone, it is very likely that you have some experience when copying a certain text, to paste it later in any other application. If so, you should know that the steps to follow on the iPad are exactly the same.
To do this, we simply have to touch and hold the text that appears on the screen , until a shading appears that highlights the text that we have previously touched, and a bar with a blue circle will appear.
It is necessary to drag the bars to select the text that we want to copy (that is, its extension), and then press the Copy button. From then on, the selected text will have been copied to the iPad clipboard (or even to any other Apple device synced with iCloud using the same account ID).
How to paste text on iPad
It is true that the most “complicated” part is the process of copying the text, since sometimes it can be a bit difficult to select the amount of text that we want to copy.
However, once this is done, we only have to paste the text in the place where we want to do it.
To achieve this, just go to the app where to paste the text , then we hold down the screen (just in the place where we want to paste it), and click on the Paste option. Clever! So simple and at the same time so simple.
Of course, remember that if you have several Apple devices synchronized with each other with the same Apple ID, through iCloud, the text that you have copied can be pasted in any of them, comfortably.
