Sorry, the same as Wolfey, what is it you want to paste?
In fact are we talking about copying and pasting?

Ctrl + X will cut an item

Ctrl + C will copy an item

Ctrl + V will paste an item.

You must of course highlight the item by holding down the left mouse button when the curser changes to an I bar and dragging to select the text.

An alternative would be to:
Left Click your mouse, keeping it held down and drag the mouse cursor over what you want to copy.
Right click the highlighted text, picture etc. and select 'Copy'

Now go to where ever you want to paste the data, Right Click and select Paste.

If you mean copy a screen or part of it, just say and we tell you how.

[Alan]

No problem, we are glad to help, as you can see, I added screenshots to make it easier for you.

A good and precise point from Alan there, but should the mouse die altogether what do you do?

To control windows solely from the keyboard have a look here.
