Yes, it can be done by the usual methods, John.
What problems are you having?

With both FH and Word open, select the text in Word, then right-click and choose Copy, now position the cursor in the FH Note, then right-click and choose Paste.
Alternatively, you can use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
However, only plain text is copied, not any formatting.
