You can highlight text with the trackpad, see either this article

or this one

depending on which model you have.


Basically you want to click once and hold while moving your finger across the trackpad to highlight the text. It's not easy at first for some people with these trackpads. You might find it helpful to simply purchase a low cost USB mouse for a few dollars, plug it in, and use it for these sorts of things.
