Press and hold on browser’s texts area for 2-3 seconds

Press on any text on the web page, then this word will become blue background color, and there are two blue selector on each side.

Tap and hold on the selector, and move it, you can change the selecting range of the texts.

After selecting texts, you can see a toobar on the top side. There are some options, like “Copy”, “Share”, “Select All”, and “Web Search”.

We choose “Copy”.

Paste selected texts in a document

To create and edit document on Kindle Fire, I recommend WPS Office app. In my personal point of view, it’s the best free office app on Kindle Fire.

In web browser app you are not able to cut content, in most of situations, you can only cut texts in an office app. So I also take WPS Office app as an example.

Select the text you want to cut

Press and hold on the text you want to cut, then a toolbar will pop up, but there is no cut option.

Because you need to select the words you want to cut at first, so we choose “Select”.

Like in Kindle Fire web browser app, the word selectors will display, the selected words will become blue. Please move the selector to adjust selecting text range.

After selecting the target content, now we can choose “cut” options, then the selected content will be gone.

Then press and hold on the place you want to paste the content. For example, I want to cut the content and paste it to a new paragraph, below is the result.
