My procedure was to
1. Install the plugin for Chrome to Phone from the blue install button given on the Chrome-to-Phone page at
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco using Chrome to browse the page obviously
2. Go to the android market and install the Chrome to Phone app from Google.
3. Start the android app on the phone.
4. On the comp, select some text on a webpage being displayed in Chrome browser
5. Click the phone icon, top right.
6. Immediately u should get a notification on the phone. The text is now in the phone clipboard
7. Paste it (long press) into a field on a suitable app running on the phone.
Suggest if no-go, uninstall Chrome from the comp and reinstall it fresh. Then repeat step 1 above.
