You need to use columnar blocks.
To define a columnar block with keyboard:
1. Move cursor to upper left corner of the area you want to copy.
2. Press Alt-I
3. Move cursor to lower right corner (the block is painted as you move the cursor).
4. Press Alt-I again.
Now you can move cursor to the destination location. Then, to copy block, press Ctrl-F9. Or to move block, press Alt-F9.
Or you can copy the block to a text register (Block -> Copy to register) and paste it from there.
With mouse:
1. To define columnar block, paint the area while holding down Alt key.
2. To copy block, move cursor to the destination, hold down Ctrl-key and click left mouse button.
Or, to move block, hold down Alt-key while clicking.
