I suspect it depends on your window manager to some extent. Copy and pasting is yet another mystery This is what I do on my 32 bit Ubuntu Feisty with Gnome Select by highlighting the application text Use that application's Edit->Copy Go to the Scribus text editor Scribus Text editor Edit->Paste Works every time. What doesn't work, but did on KDE (I think) was to simply highlight the selected text and click paste into the editor Owen
