Help Copy & Paste

[MrsVan]

Hi all.I am new to this forum, so forgive any ignorance on my part. I am fairly new to Android, but I am catching on OK.However, I am having trouble with copying & pasting.
I have tried holding over what I want, double tapping, and sliding over what I need copied, to no avail. I like the HiSense Zero Pro 7 that I have, but could use a little help.
Thanx in advance for any help.

It depends on what you're copying, but if it's text, long-press the text area and a menu should pop up. (Long-press = keep that spot pressed until the menu comes up.)
