Go to the top left hand corner of the window Right Click and select edit and paste.

Ctrl + c = cut
Ctrl + v = paste

FYI:
Ctrl + V in command prompt just shows ^V

Right-click in the title bar of a cmd window, select properties, in the options the check box QuickEdit Mode, close properties and select save properties for future windows with same title.

Then afterwards you can simply place the cursor over the word you want to copy, double-left click copies it, then double right-click pastes it.

Hope this helps.
