Hello, To navigate through text you need to first set the rotor to the desired setting. For example moving by character through a document. To do this, put 2 fingers on the screen and turn them like if turning a knob on a radio. When you are on character or word, then swipe up with one finger to move back and one finger swipe down to move forward. Keep in mind the cursor on the iPhone behaves like it does on the Mac by default. So the placement of the cursor depends on the direction your moving. If your going back, the cursor will be to the left of the character or word. Moving forward, it will be to the right. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker296@xxxxxxxxx Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Jan 3, 2011, at 12:35 PM, Erin wrote: > Does anyone know how to delete part of an email or text when you are at the > beginning of the field? > > I know how to do it at te end, you just hit delete, but I realized I messed > up a word near the beginning and I didn't want to erase everything. > > If there isn't a way to erase forward, then I'm sure there's a way to move to > a certain word but I cant find it, help would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks >> >> Click on the link below to go to our homepage. >> http://www.icanworkthisthing.com >> >> Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. >> //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover >> >> Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to >> macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface >> at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover >> > > Click on the link below to go to our homepage. > http://www.icanworkthisthing.com > > Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. > //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover > > Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to > macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web > interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover >
