       To navigate between screens, flick your finger from right to left or left to right across the middle of the screen, or tap directly on the dots. The number of dots you see represents the current number of screens on your iPad. The all-white dot denotes the screen you’re currently viewing. Flicking — or swiping — from right to left from the first Home screen brings up the aforementioned Today screen.

       Make sure you swipe and not just tap, or you’ll probably open one of the apps on the current screen instead of switching screens.

       Press the Home button to jump back to the Home screen. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Doing so the first time takes you back to the last-viewed Home screen. A second time takes you to the first Home screen.

        You can now put as many as 15 apps and as little as none on the dock. The dock also shows the three most recently opened apps on the right side of the divider line, making for a quick return to an app. You can access the dock from an open app by swiping up from the bottom of your screen.

      1 Select a word by tapping and holding it or double-tapping it.

      2 Drag the grab points (handles) to select a larger block of text or to contract the text you’ve already selected, as shown in Figure 2-3.Dragging grab points may take a little practice.FIGURE 2-3: Drag the grab handles to select text.

      3 Tap Copy.If you were deleting text from a document you created, instead of copying and pasting, you would tap Cut instead.

      4 Open the Mail program (see Chapter 5) and start composing a message.

      5 When you decide where to insert the text you just copied, tap the cursor.Up pops the Select, Select All, Paste, Quote Level, Insert Photo or Video, and Add Document commands, as shown in Figure 2-4. (We get to the last three options in Chapter 5.)FIGURE 2-4: Tap Paste and text will appear.

      6 Tap Paste to paste the text into the message. If you made a mistake when you were cutting, pasting, or typing, shake the iPad. Doing so undoes the last edit (provided that you tap the Undo Paste or Undo option when it appears and keep the shake feature enabled in Settings ⇒ Accessibility ⇒ Touch ⇒ Shake to Undo).You might also see these options:Auto-Correct: If you happen to select a word with a typo, the iPad might underline that word. If you tap the underlined work, the iPad might show you the word it thinks you meant to spell. Tap that suggested word to accept it.Predict: A predictive word feature reveals up to three word or phrase options in buttons just above the keyboard. If one of these words or phrases is what you had in mind, tap the appropriate button.Replace: The iPad may show you possible replacement words. For example, replacement words for test might be fest, rest, or text. Tap the word to substitute it for the word you originally typed.Indent Right or Left: Pretty self-explanatory. With this option, you can indent highlighted text to the right or left.Look Up: Tap your selected word for a definition, courtesy of the New Oxford American Dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary of English, an Apple dictionary, or a foreign language dictionary if you’ve downloaded any dictionaries onto your iPad. But Look Up goes well beyond definitions and includes searches that extend to the App Store, Apple Music, Twitter, the web, Wikipedia, and more.

       A third-party app, such as Slacker Personal Radio, can continue to play music while you surf the web, peek at pictures, or check email. Without multitasking, Slacker would shut down the moment you opened another app.

       A navigation app can update your position while you’re listening to, say, Pandora Internet radio. From time to time, the navigation app will pipe in with turn-by-turn directions, lowering the volume of the music so you can hear the instructions.

       If you’re uploading images to a photo website and the process is taking longer than you want, you can switch to another app, confident that the images will continue to upload behind the scenes.

       You can leave voice notes in the Evernote app while checking out a web page.
