Help Highlighting text to edit

[karo47]

I am unable to work out how to highlight text on my eeepad transformer prime, so that I can cut, paste, edit in Polaris Office etc. I am very frustrated that there seems to be no decent manuals. I have tried the suggestion from another post - double click on the word and move the dots. Doesn't work for me. Help - PLEASE!

Maybe holding down on a word. There should be two shapes that look like a mix between a square and triangle. You'll move those to highlight. A menu should pop up when you highlight something.
