title: Paste text to a jupyter notebook cell
body: <p>I am new to Jupyter Notebook --I am using Anaconda 3 with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer-- and I have been trying to paste text that I copied from a text file into a Jupyter notebook cell (I.e. some code). However when I right click my mouse, the pop-up window that appears does not list copy and paste options but rather the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Back </li>
  <li>Search using copied text </li>
  <li>Select all All </li>
  <li>Accelerator</li>
  <li>Create shortcuts</li>
  <li>Add to favorites</li>
  <li>View source</li>
  <li>Inspect element</li>
  <li>Encoding</li>
  <li>Print</li>
  <li>Print Preview</li>
  <li>Refresh</li>
  <li>Export to Excel</li>
  <li>Send to One Note</li>
  <li>Properties.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have tried the shortcut control V and it does not work.  Moreover, I tried opening the Jupyter Notebook with Chrome and again I don't see the copy - paste options.  </p>
  
  <p>I run the Jupyter notebook by typing 'ipython notebook' in Windows Commander. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is: what should I do to paste text into my Jupyter Notebook cell?</p>
