I've never had an issue with copy and paste on gmail.  I'm 74 and been using this stuff it seems, forever.  If you highlight any piece of text and go up to the "edit" menu item; scroll down to "copy"; go to the place you want to paste; place the curser where you want to insert the text; go back to the menu; scroll to "paste"; and voila!
Also, it appears that you have not tried the "control" "x,c,or v" shortcuts.  These work with either a Mac or a PC.  On a Mac you need to use the "apple key", on thte PC the "control" key.
The most important issue is that you MUST highlight the text you want to copy and paste!
Good luck!

I'm one of those 'seniors', and I couldn't agree more! I've happily used
gmail for two years and still have been unable to use cut/copy/paste in a
way reasonably similar to AOL. I've read the 'cut and paste; daily user
group page for a year and have learned nothing to help this techniclally
challenged senior physician get out of kindergarden.
 
I love gmail, but we latecomers need help in accessing more of gmail's
capability.
 
Hope your idea bears fruit.

Now I'm intrigued: Richard, do the standard Windoze set of
CtrlX, CtrlC and CtrlV not work for you then?
As a septuagenarian user myself I've used these in every type
of Windoze program, although I've never belonged to AOL, so I'm
thoroughly intrigued as to what they use instead!!
