When I tap and hold to select some text, often, it selects a huge block and I can't find a way to select just one word in that block - yes, sometimes dragging the handles lets me go into the specific word selection, but 80% of the time it doesn't. I just read the thread on two finger scrolling, and that guy does deserve an award... thinking about that, has apple done something similary inventive with copy and paste?

Thanks for any replies!

I find on the iphone I can select more specific text by zooming in a bit more :)

I assume its the same on the ipad

Best,
