If I try to edit text I have typed out, it is very difficult. It’s impossible to place the caret in the middle of a word and difficult to place it between. Very frustrating and I don’t understand why.

Which part didn’t work? You didn’t have the magnifying glass appear?
No, no magnifying glass, it just highlighted the word, options to cut or copy.
If you’re trying to place the cursor on a misspelled word, it may default to highlighting it every time. Try sneaking it in by touching and holding on a word nearby, and wait for the magnifying glass to appear before dragging onto the misspelled word. And it’s just a regular touch without breaking contact, not pressing like trying to use the haptic functions.
Mate, I have tried every which in the three years I’ve owned the iPad. It will not allow the cursor to be placed anywhere but the end or the start of a word. As an annoyance it’s up there with the exclamation and question marks not being grouped with the rest of the punctuation.
Well, I believe you, but I don’t know what the problem could be then. I do this on two different ipads and an iphone, and it’s always worked for me. I did it twice just fixing autocorrects in this reply.
