First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display,displaying graphics and an insertion marker at a first location in the graphics on the touch screen display;
detecting a finger contact with the touch screen display;
in response to the detected finger contact,expanding the insertion marker from a first size to a second size on the touch screen display, andexpanding a portion of the graphics on the touch screen display;
detecting movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display; and
moving the expanded insertion marker in accordance with the detected movement of the finger contact from the first location to a second location in the graphics, wherein;
the portion of the graphics that is expanded changes as the insertion marker moves from the first location to the second location;
the portion of the graphics that is expanded is displayed in a predefined shape; and
the expanded insertion marker is within the predefined shape; and
contracting the expanded insertion marker from the second size to the first size if finger contact with the touch screen display is broken, wherein the contracting includes an animation of the expanded insertion marker and the expanded portion of the graphics shrinking into the insertion marker at the second location.

Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. The method includes: displaying graphics and an insertion marker at a first location in the graphics on the touch screen display; detecting a finger contact with the touch screen display; and in response to the detected finger contact, expanding the insertion marker from a first size to a second size on the touch screen display and expanding a portion of the graphics on the touch screen display from an original size to an expanded size. The method further includes detecting movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display and moving the expanded insertion marker in accordance with the detected movement of the finger contact from the first location to a second location in the graphics.
