Selecting and Editing Specific Text
There will be times when you will accidentally misspell
a word or want to go back and change text without
having to delete everything that came after a selected
word. This is when the onscreen navigation keys come
in very handy. They let you navigate to a specific point
in your text message where you can then either add or
delete text.
