Hi Serhat.

You can put the content of Word document to the clipboard with three line of the code:

Word._Document doc = WordApp.ActiveDocument;
doc.Select();
WordApp.Selection.Copy();

Hi Serhat.

I rewrote the Delphi code in C#. See below.

[DllImport("ole32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int OleSetClipboard(IDataObject pDataObj);

private void adxCommandBarButton4_Click(object sender)
{
if (WordApp.Documents.Count > 0)
{
IntPtr unk = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr docUnk = Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject (WordApp.ActiveDocument);
try
{
Guid g = typeof(IDataObject).GUID;
Marshal.QueryInterface(docUnk, ref g, out unk);
if (unk != IntPtr.Zero)
{
IDataObject data = WordApp.ActiveDocument as IDataObject;
OleSetClipboard(data);
}
}
finally
{
if (docUnk != IntPtr.Zero)
Marshal.Release(docUnk);
if (unk != IntPtr.Zero)
Marshal.Release(unk);
}
}
}

[ComImport, ComVisible(false),
GuidAttribute("0000010E-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"),
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
public interface IDataObject
{
int GetData(IntPtr formatetcIn, out IntPtr medium);
int GetDataHere(IntPtr formatetc, out IntPtr medium);
int QueryGetData(IntPtr formatetc);
int GetCanonicalFormatEtc(IntPtr formatetc, out IntPtr formatetcOut);
int SetData(IntPtr formatetc, ref IntPtr medium, bool fRelease);
int EnumFormatEtc(int dwDirection, out IntPtr enumFormatEtc);
int DAdvise(IntPtr formatetc, int advf, IntPtr advSink, out int dwConnection);
int DUnadvise(int dwConnection);
int EnumDAdvise(out IntPtr enumAdvise);
}
