What OS? win? linux?
I suppose, you use M-w to copy and C-y to paste in Emacs.
Under linux it is sufficient for copy to mark the text with mouse.

using Linux, marking the text with mouse in emacs then go to say AbiWord 
and paste does not paste the text. I don't think it is even in the 
clipboard.

Only when mouse-sel-mode is active, I think ...

Of course it is not in the clipboard because it is in the "primary
selection". To paste it use middle mouse button. Please read this:

Not how it works in Solaris' "CDE":

To take something from an emacs buffer to another CDE "window"
(a "real" window, not what emacs calls "window"), do:

.  regionize the stuff.

.  do NOT do C-w; rather, press the "copy" button on the
   keyboard (well, mine is a Sun keyboard, with two columns
   of special keys, eg go-to-next-window ("front"), copy,
   paste, etc, these 2 columns being on the left edge
   of the keyboard (10 keys in all).

.  Switch windows into the window the other app is
   running in and wants-input, and hit the "paste" key.

Reverse direction, eg from something being shown in a dtterm
  and putting it into an emacs buffer, at point:

. Mouse-blacken that area in the, say, dtterm. 

. Hit Copy-button.

. Flip into the window emacs owns.

. *Usually*, C-y works.  If not, hit the paste-button.


What if anything this scheme for Sun Solaris implies for
Linux, I don't know.


Hope this helps.

Very little I expect unless you are using a Sun keyboard with Linux!

Generally under X windows, you mark the text (either with the mouse or
usiing the mark region commands - its useful to enable
transient-mark-mode if you use the mouse), switch to the other
application you want to paste into and hit the middle mouse
button. Note that the 'windows style' Ctl-v usually doesn't work
consistently - there is some trickery you can do using the xclipboard,
but I've found it too much of a hassle to bother with and there are
still some apps which don't recognize the xclipboard.

Re: copy/paste to/from emacs

[Haizi Zheng]

If you want to copy some text from emacs, and then paste it in another
application in X environment, you can have try as add the line below to
you .emacs file:

(global-set-key [C-f11] 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)

This will add a new bind, here is contrl-f11, to replace the default M-w
when copying, then in the other application, the normal paste operation
will work.

By this method, there are two key-bindings, respectively take charge of
the internal-copy-paste affairs and that between eamcs and other 
applications. I admit that this method is a little ugly, is there 
anyone who has better solution on this issue?

Try using middle mouse button to paste.

I just use mouse button 2 to paste into other applications
