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.

Cheers
