Copy and Paste

I can’t do this on my iPad, would someone who uses an iPad advise if it possible please?
Just did it Annie, that is your post inserted, above this.
Hold your finger down on the text you want to copy, until highlighted in blue, with 'dots' on each side, and you should be asked if you want to 'copy'. Select that option, go to where you want to 'paste', hold down your finger again, and select 'paste' . It should work. I had to hold and press quite hard! Hope this makes snse. Good luck
