[h-e-w] Cutting and pasting TO emacs from Win apps (eg Word)

[Neal Beck]

Hi
I am using GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) (2001-10-22 on buffy) 
(NTemacs 21.1) on an XP (Pro) box. 

I have no trouble killing and yanking within emacs, no trouble cutting and 
pasting within various Windows apps (eg Word to Notepad), and no trouble 
killing in eamcs and then pasting into a 
windows app. But nada when I cut (or copy) from a windows app and then try to 
yank into emacs. If I have killed something previously in emacs, it is that 
which gets yanked back, and if I 
have not done any killing in emacs, i get the message "kill ring empty." I have 
looked at CUA, but this seems to only remap keys (and when i use, get same 
behavior as before). This must be 
trivial, but I cannot figure it out. I frequently want to copy a url from ie to 
some html i am editing in emacs, so not being able to copy from the windows app 
is a real pain.

Thanks for any help, I assume I am just missing something obvious, but, if so, 
cannot figure it out (and my perusal of the archives did not yield any 
answers). 

thanks
neal
