XnView Software

I am trying to copy part of one image and paste it to another image.
The copy/paste works great, but the copied part always ends up in the upper left corner. How can I move it to where I want it?

If there is no way to move the pasted image part in XnView, is there some other simple software (free?) that can do this?

If all you want to do is copy and paste/position rectangles, then MSPaint (installed when you installed Windows) will work fine for your purpose.

In the Start menu, select Run...
Type MSPaint
Press [Enter]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am copying/pasting between two images. Doesn't work with MSPaint
It works with XnView but apparently only if I want to paste it into the upper left corner.....??
Is it possible to move the pasted part in Xnview?

I wonder why copying pasting between two images won't work. Just open to instances of MS Paint.

But pasting in XnView with the ability to move the pasted contents would be a really good and helpful feature.

Or:

• Open one image in MSPaint
  Select/Copy
  Open second image in MSPaint
  Paste/Move
  Save

When I tried it yesterday, and earlier today, the right-click menu in the 2nd instance didn't work. Strangely, it works now*.
I will try MS Paint instead.

*) p.s. It may be related to another software that I am using; it sometimes interferes with the right-click menu.

Arghhh.... MSPaint can not handle multi-Image Tifs.
Can I extract pages from a Multi-Image Tif using XnView?
EDIT: To answer my own question: I just realized that if I save the TIF in XnView and hit cancel when it asks to save all pages, then only the current page is saved (this dialogue could be improved to make it clearer...)

Copying in XnView and pasting in MS Paint also works:
You can view your multi-page TIFs in XnView and copy parts to the clipboard and paste in a picture in MS Paint. This way you will not need to save individual pages of your multi-page TIFs.

Still need to save the pages individually as I am pasting to a mutli-image TIF (not supported in MSPaint).

Ah, o.k..

As written above, moving after pasting would enhance usability of XnView very well.
