Newbie issue with copy/paste of clips

[mikemahony65]

This is a very "newbie" question.

I have a video show. I want to pull highlights and paste them into the front of the video. I want the sound included. How?

Thanks for the links, but that would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I know how to use Premiere. Been editing with it for several years now. 

the issue is as described. I am not allowed to cut a clip, copy it and then paste it to the front of the video.

Is this the issue?

Or is it this?

Assign the Paste to Target Track keyboard shortcut.

Paste to Target Track

This new keyboard shortcut provides the same behavior as legacy copy and paste operations. The Paste to Target Track command pastes according to the lowest targeted track(s).

The second one looks like it will solve the problem! Thank you very much!
