Copy / Paste (ctrl+c / ctr+v) generally works for this. Assuming this is a Windows machine. Is there a specific node that you’re unable to copy over?

I do apologize in this matter. Yes it is windows. The problem seems to be that my CRTL key no longer wishes to work period.I do appreciate the attention you have given. thank you.
