Copy and Paste Text From Message or Email

August 15, 2008 · Filed Under Tips n Tricks 

Sometime your friend send important message to your phone. So you need to save the text message or email to note or other text editor. Sadly there is no built-in copy-paste feature on Nokia phones. But don’t worry, there’s always a solution for simple task like this.

  1. Open the message you want to copy from
  2. Options > Forward. This will give you a chance to copy and modify the text in that message.
  3. Hold down the # key and highlight the text you want. While holding down # push the copy key and now it’s on the clip board.
  4. Go to your web browser or email that you need to paste the text in and once again hold down the # key and push paste.
  5. Go back and delete the forward message you were creating.

Those are the steps I use. Maybe there is a better way and if so please let me know. I’ve found it extremely annoying that I can’t just go in and grab some text right from the message.

Note: After you press ‘forward’ you should also now have ‘editing options’ under your options list, which allow you to do this.

    E50 has a Edit key on the right side which u can hold, select text with joystick, press edit key which gives u option to copy then go to where u want to paste and press edit key again. Maybe other E models also have one dedicated key for this.
