Yes, but I think I understood you correctly. I was assuming you wanted to replace the existing descriptive text with new text that you had just copied to the kill ring or cut buffer. Note that they end in C-y, not M-w. However, I now see that my methods rely on having activated the emacs option whereby yanked (pasted) text overwrites the current marked region (selection). I think this is controlled by zmacs-region and cua-mode, which maybe you don't have activated. Sorry for the confusion.
