Use the * register to yank/paste to/from the system clipboard.

This should be covered in the vimtutorial, run vimtutor if you have not done so yet.

If you are using gvim, you have the option of clicking on "Edit" -> "Copy" and "Edit" -> "Paste". You need to select some text first obviously, before copy. Selection can be done with mouse. Using CTRL-C and CTRL-V might also work for copy/paste - whether it does work or not depends on a few factors.

It that the answer you were looking for?

Also, if GUI is what you want to work with, vim may not be worth looking at. Just my opinion.
