Copy & Paste on D2 - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Can soemone explain to me how Copy & Paste works on the D2?
I cant seem to get it to work consistently, am I missing something?
On the D1 you hold and get a menu to copy, with D2 it appears hidden somewhere else
I use text messaging heavily for work, so this could be a deal-breaker

When you are in text messages, click MENU and click SELECT TEXT. Then you can select what you want to copy.
No idea why HTC changed the way of copy paste.. it was annoying for me too to find the copy/paste function.

in New Contact Card
in New Contact Card how to copy and paste? since lots of asian online auction use the same company/ email name would be much easier just to type it once and then copy it. i'm able to highlight but get no menu poping with options

you can copy paste with almost any keyboard:
fingerkeyboard: shift+longpress c/v
spb keyboard: control+c/v
default keyboard: control+c/v

sms + call

Hi, i need to make a call with a number received from an sms, or to the sender of the sms. I need to add a prefix too and i cannot save the number on my address book.
Is there any program to do that?
thanks
i know what you mean. some phones have the highlight function of msgs, so when you recieve a number in an sms it automaticly highlights it for editing or calling. but what i do, is open the message, forward it and then you can edit it before you send a forward. from there highlight the number you want, copy and paste it into a new contact card. if theres a simpler way i'd love to know. maybe we can all bug imate/htc about this and they'll add a highlight function. or is the messaging app the same on all windows mobile phones?
This is a simpler way:
- open the sms and underline the number and press copy.
if you want to call it
- press the green button.
if you want to modify it
- paste into a note and modify it
- copy and paste into the phone

a couple quesitons..
when you say underline do you mean highlight? cuz i do that, highlight the number in the text msg and press call and it calls the message sender not the number in the message. also you cant copy it from the message in an inbox, you have to select forward to edit it and then you can copy it there. i was having problems with pasting it in the phone but just realized you have to tap edit on the bottom left then paste, you cant tap and hold to paste it.

Go to SMS any folder. Then tap Menu>Tools>Manage Folders... Tap and hold on any folder and choose "New folder"
Hope this helps.
are you using a threaded SMS style? or the classic inbox?
if you are using the normal classic inbox, (in the inbox/messaging appication) go to menu (right soft key)>tools>mangae folders> then tap and hold a folder (for example inbox)>a pop up menu comes up and then tap on New Folder...
it's a bit tricky and hidden (no actual menu entry) so most doesn't know this even exsists..

I'll add to this..
If you have WM6.1 with threaded style Inbox, you can disable threading first (do search how) and then you can "manage folders" to add a New Folder.
After which you can enable threading again.
ahh thanx, the problem was the THREADING. Cos the "new folder" option was greyed out.
thnx ppl
Do You know maybe appkication, which will autamatically (similar as in mail clients) put sms to ritght folder according to rules (phone numebr, subject etc.) ?
Thanks in advance.
Easy Helper SMS Security takes certain messages to a seperate program, which can also be password protected
You set rules for the filtering, ie names, numbers, keywords etc

Can't copy and paste in SMS

Hey guys,
I've come from the Diamond1 and I've noticed with the Diamond2 that when you send a text message and you want to send the same text to another person, you can't copy and paste from the sent window.
For example, you can't highlight previous messages sent to you and ones that you've sent and copy them. I find this very annoying, anyway to fix it?
Thanks
I can do it fine if I go into MENU and do SELECT TEXT.
If you don't get the copy/paste options in the menu, you can always set the keyboard to the default wm one, and push CTRl-c, CTRL-v.
It CAN be done...
Under Sent Items, open mail. Text is greyed.
Select Menu\Select Text
Select the text you want
Press & hold on the selected text. Menu pops up "Delete..Forward...Mark as Unread..COPY..Select All" select copy.
Exit message by the back hard button
start new message by menu\new\sms
tap once in message area (not "To:")
Press & hold next to cursor and wait a second - the dotted circle will come out and give you the option to paste.
I have a Diamond 2 Win 6.5 Hellenic.
None of the above can be done with this operating system. Copy-Paste is totally missing.
juz press n hold in the sms
the menu will show "Make Selection" as the first option
select that n select the text u want, press n hold again n you'll get the copy option
I came across this problem yesterday, If I tried to paste more than 640 characters (length of more than 4 sms) it would not paste.
It seems to paste fine if the lengh of the sms is less than this.

Can't copy/paste??

Is it possible to copy and paste text that's in an email or on a webpage? It seems I can only copy links by tapping on them and holding, or when you have a text entry box it also seems to work, but what about a chunk of text in an email you've received or on a website? Seems like a pretty basic function, if even windows mobile could manage it.
In browser app, press menu, then the last button, then the "select text" voice (I've an italian one, sorry), it will be automatically copied to clipboard so you can paste it everywhere. I've not yet found a way to copy text from mail app, but you can open mail from browser anyway, following the same procedure
Thanks, works perfectly in the browser, and in text messages you can touch and hold the message to copy all its text. Unfortunately I usually need it more in email, and would take less time to re-write than log into webmail and copy. Seems like an oversight really, if it works in the broswer why can't they make it work elsewhere

Copy text from web sites / gmail?

I find I need to copy text from Gmail or a website sometimes and I have yet to figure out a way to do it. I can easily copy text from a text entry box but if it is just text on a page or email you cant bring up a Select Text option. Is there any way to do this?
On browser,
Menu > More > Select Text
Gmail,
Not there yet. Try check via Browser when you need to copy text. You should still be able to paste in the gmail app
Yeah, this is in the sticky. Froyo brings copy/paste to gmail.
