With VoiceOver active, press VO + Shift + C, or Control + Option + Shift + C, to copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard, or pasteboard (the two words mean the same thing). While in a text field, press Command + C to copy the currently selected text, Command + X to cut, and Command + V to paste.

This is from with in the finder. This will not work with text. to cut text its cmd x to cut then cmd v to paste. Cmd option v at least with in pages will paste the new style copied with cmd option v.

Take care.
