Once an area has been copied, right click and select from the pop-up menu to paste it. Paste Transparent means that the currently selected background colour will be transparent on the pasted block. Once selected move the mouse to position the block and drop it in place with the left mouse button. Note that the paste can be cancelled from the pop-up menu.

At any time the Paste Gravity can be altered from the pop-up menu. This simply alters where the cursor is anchored to the block when pasting, allowing the block to be positioned anywhere.
