In notepad (and most modern editors)
ctrl-arrow for word selection; edit->copy (to copy), edit->cut (to cut), edit->paste to paste. You can also do the whole ^c^v bit too, of course.
But if you don't know about the ^c^v bit, you can simply look at the interface and say "ok, there's a menu called edit, wonder whats there? oh, that's how I cut and paste, ok". Whereas with vi you have to plummet the depths of some manual written in moon language somewhere.
