Welcome to the world of '2 thousand ways to skin a cat'.
1). X clipboard. Highlight text you want to copy with Left button and
then place cursor where you want to copy too and click center button.
2). Redirect output to a file ('command > file.txt') and then include
that file in your document.
You really don't need to write out your key (it'll be quite long and
you'll probably make a mistake). Your key will grow as people sign it.
In case you don't know you can export you public key with:
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpg --export --armor [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux)

My 'clean' key (no signatures) is here:
http://www.mungewell.org/simon.asc
The 'real' one is much longer.
What you should/can do (some people prefer to keep public keys off the
servers) is publish it on a key server. Then anyone can download it and
use it - even if they haven't signed it prehaps someone that they
'trust' has....
Your can upload your key via a web interface:
http://www.stinkfoot.org/pgp/
(or any other - stinkfoot is easy to remember for some reason :-)
Or via the command line:
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpg --send-key 575E8783
gpg: sending key 575E8783 to hkp server stinkfoot.org
---
Or even via email, send email to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' for
instructions.

Will do.
