How to copy text from one vmware workstation to PC?

So long as VMware Tools are installed, you can "copy" from (say) guest and "paste" into (say) host. For copy and paste to work, Tools must be installed and the guest settings must allow copy/paste (Under Guest Isolation in Settings, Options).

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I did it based on the link:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018377
After I installed the tool and restarted, I still cannot copy and past. Maybe something is wrong?

If Tools are installed, then in Guest Settings, Options, Guest Isolation and make sure copy/paste is enabled.
I just tried it and it works fine (as it always did) Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V or context right click "copy" right click "paste"
This is for copying text in files NOT for moving or copying files - Use a folder map for that.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
