Might depend on how you're doing the "copy".
Just highlighting a section of text is enough to
"copy" for purposes within Emacs itself; Emacs
can paste that in just fine. And SOMETIMES that
same block can be pasted into other applications.
But some applications seem to draw ONLY from the
Windows clipboard. To work with those, I specifically
do an Emacs "copy" using Esc-w (or Ctrl-w and Ctrl-y
to cut and restore the original ). Then the text
is in Windows' clipboard and pastes just fine in
every app I've used. (I haven't specifically tried
xterms, though.
