Not sure for Hotmail as it's web-based, but if you're using Outlook you should be able to copy and paste by doing a screen grab with the PrntScreen functionality of your computer. For mine for example I need to press the FunctionKey and then Prnt Screen key, then go to Outlook, choose New Message, put the cursor into the body of the message and do Control-V or Edit Paste. If you just want to do a screen shot of the current application press the Alt Tab also ie press Alt tab, Function Key and Prnt Screen all together and then into Outlook and Ctrl V - works fine for me.
