Switch from your Smart Keyboard to software keyboard

You might need to use your software keyboard instead of the Smart Keyboard to do things like type accented characters or use dictation. To show the software keyboard, tap the down arrow key on your Smart Keyboard, then touch and hold (looks like a down arrow or carrot) until the software keyboard appears. To hide the keyboard again, tap [keyboard symbol].

My problem is I cant seem to get this to work on my 10.5 iPP. Anyone know how to bring up the software keyboard?

Tap the down arrow button on your Smart Keyboard while holding the arrow on the screen until the software keyboard shows up.
It worked just fine on my iPP.

It works even on my Logitech Slim Combo.
BTW the Logitech keyboard case even has a dedicated function key to shows up the software keyboard.
