The way I have it configured, using either dtterm, aixterm or xterm, I
highlight the text I want using the left mouse button. Paste it with the
centre button/left and right together, (depending on the mouse).
If you have your Exceed settings correct, to paste into a Windows
application - such as Word or Outlook - you don't need to explicitly
cut/copy the selection. Just go to where you want it, and Shift-Insert.
Same works in reverse. Ctrl-Ins from Windows; move to the dtterm and
middle-button to paste, (although it sometimes has problems with Word
special characters).
To configure this, go to Exceed Configuration: X Selection.
I have this set to PRIMARY, with all three boxes ticked. I think it's "Auto
Copy X Selection" that's important for this.
