Here is a quick blurb I cut from the manuel Keith sent.


You can use the editing features of iPad to cut, copy, or paste in the text 
field.
Note: Safari doesn’t support copying webpage content. The editing features work 
only in editable text fields.

Select text: Use the rotor to choose edit. Flick up or down to choose between 
the Select and Select All functions, then double-tap. If you chose Select, the 
word closest to the insertion point is selected when you double-tap. If you 
chose Select All, all the text is selected.
Pinch to increase or decrease the selection.
Cut, copy, or paste: Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected, 
flick up or down to choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.
Undo: Shake iPad, or flick left or right to choose the action to undo, then 
double-tap.
Change the pitch: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then 
tap the Use Pitch Change button. Then, when you delete a letter, it’s spoken 
with a lower pitch.
Speak keys phonetically: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > 
VoiceOver, then tap the Use Phonetics button. Then, when you pause on a key, 
VoiceOver speaks the letter of that key phonetically (for example, alpha for a, 
bravo for b, charlie for c, and so on).
