There are at least 2 possible ways to copy the text.

1. Highlight the text with the mouse and then move the cursor to the point 
where you want to insert the text. Click the wheel of the mouse if you 
have one or click left and right mouse button simultaneously if you have a 
two button mouse.

2. Highlight the text and type Ctrl-c (i.e. press the Ctrl key and keep it 
pressed while you press the c key as well). That operation copies the 
text to the clipboard. Then left-click to the point where you want to 
insert the text from the clipboard and press Ctrl-v.
