I wanted to know if there is some stock app on the DI that I'm missing or do I need to download an app to do this. I miss being able to copy or cut text and paste it on another text message or e-mail which I could do on my previous phone. If there is another app I need, please advise.

Thanks
 
OK, what about copying text that is not on a website? For instance I got an e-mail from a friend wanting the phone number and e-mail address for someone in my People Contact list. Is there a way to copy and paste that info to paste into an e-mail reply? Not trying to sound so stupid, but this Android stuff is all new to me coming from a Palm that I used for years.

I don't think they've implemented full copy/paste into the messaging apps. You can paste info in, but not copy.

As for the contact info, you may be able to export the contact as a vcard and send that.
