Contextual Menus

Is there any way to turn off contextual menus or shift to other locations on the iPad? In Pages, Keynote and Numbers, when you select text (as opposed to an insertion point), a contextual pop up menu appears which blocks the selected text. Does anyone have a work around? This behavior significantly impacts my work flow!
