Google Email/Links

[Rabbit]

I access my Google Email account both on my Nexus 7 and on my Macbook.
Occasionally an email message will include a link to some web site which is no problem on either machine IF the link is only one line long.
In that case, simply clicking on the link will take me where I need to go.
If, however, the link goes into a second line I have to highlight the complete link and then copy and paste to my address line at the top of the screen.
This is no problem on the MacBook but I can't figure out how to highlight, copy and paste on the Nexus.
Must be simple, eh?
Appreciate any help you can offer.

On your Nexus 7 "Long press" on the URL (Link) and you should be given the option to copy and then you can go to your browser and long press on the address bar and see the option to paste.
