Have some text in a file, or other post, or webpage you want to get into a new post?  You can copy the text by highlighting it with your cursor (hold the left mouse button down while dragging it across the desired text) and then copy it by either going to your browser's menu under Edit and clicking copy, or just hold your CTRL key down while pressing the C key (CTRL-C).  CTRL-C will copy the text and then you can park the cursor in a post or PM you are making and paste it in there using either that same browser Edit menu or the shortcut CTRL-V.  Also, you can highlight ALL the text in one stroke as a shortcut but parking your cursor on it and hitting CTRL-A (be careful, sometimes this grabs more than just the text you want) or using that browser Edit menu and clicking Select All.

You can hit PREVIEW on your post or PM instead of SEND to preview it before Sending.  You can also play around and test this stuff out in the Test Stuff Out forum:

Test Stuff Out
  Test posting & other junk.

If you are getting a lot of code junk in your post, it's because whatever you are copying has some hidden formatting info in there .. you will need to clean it up when you preview by deleting it out or paste the material into something generic, like Notepad, which is just plain text and gets rid of the formatting info.  You could then copy it from THERE and then paste it to a post or PM.
