Um does it just copy it to the system keyboard?
To copy you should hold a texbox and copy all or whatever.
And then to paste you gotta hold the destination textbox again and select paste

Looking for a pocket outlook plugin.

I'm fed up with the way pocket outlook allows me to search for files to add them as email attachments. What it does is it searches all the folders for files which takes sooooooo long. So in perfect life I would like to manually pick a folder and then select a file as an attachment. Does something like this exist?
I know that there are other email clients out there but I would like to have this feature in outlook as it's better integrated with the OS.
It's called, open file explorer, find the file to send, hold down on the file, go to send, and then pick your method.

Yeah I knew that but sometimes while writing an email I realize that I forgot to attach a file and then....I will have to either attach a file through outlook or copy my message to clipboard, go to explorer attach a file to a new email and then paste the text of my message.....too much hustle. So I'm still looking for some convenient solution.
Good luck with that. .
I don't see how people can be so picky about this sort of thing. One guy got mad because he had to click too many times to send an SMS message out.

Come on think about this....wasn't it be easier to just allow the user to access the explorer directly from the new email screen and allow one to pick the SPECIFIC folder. And now when you want to attach a file directly from the email screen you have to wait until WM searches all your folders which takes just too damn long.
So i just don't follow you......picky??? I'm just proposing an improvement. I've got a feeling that you consider WM 6.1 to be perfect as it is...

Is this actually trying to be an iPhone?

so, the new contact card....
where is the copy and paste?
*sigh*

PS... the IPhone hasn't got Copy and paste in case you're wondering on the subject... (though they're making an update to support it)
I think it's better cuz it has more features and a free, fully supported 6.5 update. Plus, I like WinMo more than Crap OSX.

TF3D2 is their effort to make windows mobile nice and easy, but you have to go to the old style contact editor to copy and paste...
click a contact, and click "edit contact". Try copy pasting....
so to move a number to a different contact.... (How is this an improvement?!?)
*open contact 1
*click edit contact (but you can't copy here, so ...)
*click more (now you're in the old style contact editor)
*Select number, and copy it.
*click ok on win contact editor
*exit contact
*open contact 2
*click edit contact (but you can't paste here, so ...)
*click more (now you're in the old style contact editor)
*Select right box, and past into it.
*click ok on win contact editor
*exit contact
The process should be
*open contact 1
*click edit contact
*Select number, and copy it.
*exit contact
*open contact 2
*click edit contact
*Select right box, and past into it.
*exit contact

Imagine that when HTC made their volume control, it would let you raise the volume, but not lower it, but you could open HTC volume control, click on "more" and then you opened windows default volume control, which let you lower the volume.
That's about how I see this, they replaced one of the main applications, and failed to implement it's full functionality, contact editing is a basic feature on any phone and should be done properly.

Switch to keyboard input method instead of full qwerty and you can use ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste. But just how often do you really need to copy a number from one contact to another one anyhow? Not as if its an everyday occurance, now is it?
Our office has changed the first part of the number 3 times this year. Thanks for pointing out the ctrl c thing, didn't know about that, was expecting to use the long press menu.
I'm happy with the phone mostly, just feel TF3D could have been better, and I'm missing the battery meter on the notifications screen and facebook contact integration (I had these on my touch pro that I had the vga port of TF3D2 on)
Yep, trying to be an iPhone

Forward it to yourself, instead of a phone number enter your email address.

You can't do copy and paste from gmail app. Whenever I need to do that I use the browser version (gmail.com)

I can do this on the Opera app, but not on the gmail app.
Press Menu -> More -> Select Text -> Copy.
Copy and paste requires ridiculous acrobatics and renders these phones as toys. I received one to test for our work fleet roll out and was shocked at the terrible text editing capabilities and near impossible copying from the browser.
This is after using win5,6 phones.
It seems the pda phone is truly dead with all the multimedia phones around. Particularly the lack of buttons...
Try the copy paste app from market. It even has OCR built in. Its really very easy even to copy text from images.

Copy and paste from within emails to notepad - Sprint HTC Hero

Posting this for a friend
Copy and paste from within emails to notepad - Sprint HTC Hero I am trying to copy some text from within an email (either gmail or yahoo) to paste to my notepad. This is using Sprint's HTC Hero. I cannot seem to do it. If I long press the screen, I come with "copy text" and then I can drag my finger to copy some text, but only within that one screen - if the text I want to copy is more than one screen, then it is impossible. I have read threads and suggestions that you use shift and s etc., but don't see how that's possible because if I'm reading my gmail, there is no keyboard to use, and no options for a "shift" key. Anyone got any ideas?
