On my client (may be a bit older than yours) you just click on the address book, then go to your receiving addresses tab, then highlight the address you want to use, then there is a button called "Copy to Clipboard"

i am using 0.5 - in address book there is nothing, under receiving addresses i highlited an address to copy to clipboard and then nothing- i do not know how to view clipboard?

[reg]

ok if anyone follows this thread and like me did not know what to do i found out accidentally;
1) click receive addresses
2) click to highlight receiving address required
3) in mtgox (withdrawal address box) right click and paste.

i was expecting to cut and paste from a clipboard displaying an adress but nothing appears so doing the above got my bitcoins from mtgox to my wallet. regards reg

Using the clipboard is a very basic and important  tool. Once you click on "Copy to Clipboard" it is already in your Clipboard and ready to Paste.

If I may, I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with : ' highlinght, copy, cut, paste '

Thanks to the last post. I am obviously learning basic stuff but if bitcoin is going to become more widely used there will be many who just do not know these things so its good to have it down so people can read them. regards reg.

Yes 'reg ' ,  it is always good to ask questions.

BTW, ' highlinght, copy, cut, paste '   can be done in 3 ways after highlighting something:
1. from the 'Edit' menu at the upper left
2. from the right click of the mouse
3. from the keyboard : Ctrl+x,  Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v,

It is a good practice to know all 3 - in different situations, the one or the other will be feasible  and save time
