2. On the Draw tab, tap Lasso Select, and then use your finger or stylus to draw a selection around the ink strokes you want to cut, copy, or delete.

   Be sure to connect the end point of your selection to where you started.

3. When the ink is selected (8 selection handles will appear around your selection), tap your finger inside the selection to display a menu of the following options:

   • Tap Cut to remove the selection at its current location. To paste the removed ink strokes elsewhere on the page:

     2. Tap and hold your finger on the page where you want to paste the previously selected ink strokes.

     3. After you release, tap Paste on the menu that appears, and then drag the pasted ink selection with your finger exactly where you want it.
