The built-n copy/paste program on my iMac, does not work satisfactorily and not at all at times! I want to get a hopefully free copy/paste program and would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I have macOS Catalina Version 10.15.5. My 21/5-inch iMac is Mid 2014.

There is no copy/paste program. It's a feature built-in throughout the OS. I think you need to explain your issue in more detail.
Take pictures or screen recordings using Screenshot...

So, please tell us what exact steps you take for copy/paste? And what exactly are you copying? Did you highlight that area/sentence first?
I use the keys: Command + C to copy and then Command + V to paste it elsewhere.
Yes, you babowa and Terence Devlin are both right, of course. Copy/paste in the iMac software does work as you indicated on documents, say a MS Word document or an Apple Mail inbox letter, etc. I am trying to copy and paste a map on MapQuest or Google Maps to a Word Document and either I am ignorant (probably) of how to do it or there isn't one available??!!! I do appreciate both of your responses greatly!
Thank you both, Terence Devlin again, and this time Old Toad! I understand what you are saying. But I don't know how to screenshot. I use Safari as my main browser, and I also have Google Chrome and Firefox. I've looked at the features on all three and do not see screenshot, nor on the list under Apple About this Mac.
I don't think you can copy a Google map. Instead make a screenshot of it and use that in the Word document.
Thank you very much. I understand and can use the suggestion! Have a good life.
Great news, take care my friend. :)
These services deliberately prevent copying of their material for copyright reasons. As OT says, screenshot the map you want and use that as a workaround.
