Copy from Host and paste to guess

Hi,
I am new to virtualBox and I am having trouble with coping something from my host (Win 7 64-bit) and pasting it to the guest (Oracle Linux). Does copy and paste not work between host and guest. I have installed the guest additions but maybe it did not install properly. If it did not install properly where can I see the log?

Depends on the version of VirtualBox you use. You don't say, but if it is available you must select to use host to guest and not bidirectional.
And it must be drag'n'drop. Copy and paste is for text only and is a clipboard feature.
