MicroSoft's greatest strength is all their apps ( I say this from my limited knowledge on the matter) seem to accept another's cut/paste.

Many things let you drag and select with the left mouse button, and
what's left highlighted is copied into a buffer. Then, you paste with
the middle mouse button.
This doesn't work with everything, though. Sometimes right-clicking
into the highlighted text and choosing "copy" from a pop-up menu does
the trick.
Tim pointed out. If you have a two button mouse, you can set up your mouse (mouse config) to use both mouse keys held down, at the same time, as the third button. 3 button mice are cheap. <g> Ric
