1. A method, comprising:
- at a multifunction device with a touch screen display;
displaying at least a portion of a structured electronic document on the touch screen display at a first magnification, wherein the structured electronic document comprises a plurality of boxes of content;
detecting a first finger gesture on a first box of content in the plurality of boxes of content;
in response to detecting the first finger gesture on the first box of content in the plurality of boxes of content;
selecting the first box of content for copying; and
visually distinguishing the selected first box of content from content on the touch screen display that is not selected for copying;
while the first box is selected for copying, detecting a second finger gesture;
in response detecting the second finger gesture, switching the device from a mode configured to select one or more boxes of content for copying to a mode configured to select content within a single box of content for copying;
while in the mode configured to select content within a single box of content for copying, detecting a finger contact on a respective end of the selected first box of content;
displaying a content magnifier adjacent to the respective end of the selected first box of content, wherein the content magnifier displays;
an expanded portion of the content proximate to the respective end of the selected first box of content at a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification, anda boundary marker that denotes a current position of the respective end of the selected first box of content;
detecting movement of the finger contact across the touch screen display within the selected first box of content;
updating the respective end of the selected first box of content and the displayed expanded portion of the content proximate to the respective end at the second magnification in accordance with the movement of the finger contact; and
moving the content magnifier and the boundary marker in accordance with the movement of the finger contact.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a device displays content on a touch screen display and detects input by finger gestures. In response to the finger gestures, the device selects content, visually distinguishes the selected content, and/or updates the selected content based on detected input. In some embodiments, the device displays a command display area that includes one or more command icons; detects activation of a command icon in the command display area; and, in response to detecting activation of the command icon in the command display area, performs a corresponding action with respect to the selected content. Exemplary actions include cutting, copying, and pasting content.
