You have to copy something to clipboard before the system will allow Paste.

Paste is inserted into the same menu when you have done so.

There is a 4 page thread on this subject.

Window select the items to copy, Right Click and select Copy, 

Deselect those copied items. (Important step)

Move to and edit the destination sketch, Right Click select Paste, align as desired.

You can repeat Paste of the same objects without having to copy again.

Might help,

@eurocafe90 - you cannot today copy/paste entire sketches.  So, instead you have to copy/paste the contents from ones sketch to another.  Edit the first sketch, select the entire set of geometry, constraints, dimensions, and Copy that.  Exit that sketch, edit (or create) the target sketch, and Paste the selected contents into the new sketch.

After deselecting the copied articles, 

It is a normal workflow to deposit those - where you wanted to put them - inside a sketch, 

(destination sketch - Jeff called it a target sketch -

if it doesn't exist make a new sketch, 

can be the same sketch,

another sketch in the same file or

another sketch in another file that is open.)
