Hi. You should study "An Introduction to R" manual. It is installed with R in PDF format and is accessible from the menu (Help -> Manuals (in PDF) -> ) There are several links in the R web site. Go to http://www.r-project.org/ and see links under the word "Documentation" in the left frame. There are some contributed documents: http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html
Array manipulations are described in the chapter 5 of the Introduction. The plot window has its own menu allowing using of the Windows clipboard (you didn't describe your system, but "Word for Windows" suggests you're on Windows).
