How do I get the bold, underline, italics editing option for Notes on iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4? Option is not appearing when I select text.

When I select text, I don't get an arrow with additional options. What is shown in the image are the only options I get. Is there something I need to do in Settings or something in order to be able to bold, underline and italicize text?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

Thought I was losing it over this same issue - simply make sure your keyboard is up on your screen and you have all the functions you're looking e.g. bold, underline, etc.
