My usual method of copying a screen area in PuTTY is via the right-click button, but also has the effect of pasting as well, resulting in entering a sequence of meaningless commands or pasting the text in an editor.
Is there another of copying which doesn't entail pasting as well?

It turns out that by selecting the area with the mouse and just releasing the mouse button the area get's copied- discovered here - http://superuser.com/questions/85772/putty-how-to-select-text-and-copy-text-using-keyboard-only, so much for my PuTTY skills as a long term user
