copying word document to clipboard

I am trying to develop word add-in which copies the active document to the clipboard.

DataObject iData = new DataObject(DataFormats.Rtf, doc);
Clipboard.SetDataObject(iData, true);

(where doc is active document) does not work.
Note that i am trying to copy entire document to clipboard, not just the text. I am seriously in need of help on this problem.

thanks in advance,
serhat.

Use IPersistFile. 

procedure TAddInModule.adxCommandBar1Controls0Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  PF: IPersistFile;
begin
  WordApp.ActiveDocument.QueryInterface(IPersistFile, PF);
  try
    if Assigned(PF) then begin
      PF.Save(MyFileName, false);
    end;
  finally
    PF := nil;
  end;
end;

Hi Guest,

I hope the code below will be useful: 


procedure TAddInModule.adxCommandBar1Controls0Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  IData: IDataObject;
begin
  if WordApp.Documents.Count
>
 0 then begin
    WordApp.ActiveDocument.QueryInterface(IDataObject, IData);
    if Assigned(IData) then
      try
        OleSetClipboard(IData);
      finally
        IData := nil;
      end;
  end;
end;

Dmitry,

thanks for the reply. However, i also forgot to mention that i am working on .net c# and I couldnt manage to find the QueryInterface method.
also, does your proposal include conversion to rtf?

thanks,
serhat.

Hi Serhat,

After the code is executed the Clipboard will have the Rich Text format.
BTW, we have NET forum. Could you please all your questions related to C# ask here:
