In that case, you have to manually program in the copy from the foreground window, the switch to the receiving window, and the paste to that receiving window.  You'll also have likely add wait's appropriate to your machine and software. 

 If you are not familiar with scripts and commands like wait and win.show, then this would likely not be something you could do without a fair bit of study of the scripting tutorial and the help on win plugin and on caption lists.
 

 Unfortunately, there is no way I know to detect what background window has selected text, so you would have to start with it as foreground and then use different commands or some other scripting solution to switch to another foreground window.  
 

 This is  not much different than just copying the text to the clipboard when you select it then pasting into the window you want, just using standard Windows.  I don't think PPro has much more to offer for your use case. 
 

  It was more helpful for other use cases when Windows lacked clipboard history, but even that is no longer the case.
