My Blog | My ArticlesI got it to copy, my question is that why it still looses format. Storing Info: IDataObject d = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); //d.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, true, richTextBox1.Text); // d.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, richTextBox1.Rtf); Clipboard.SetText(richTextBox1.Text, TextDataFormat.Rtf); Retriving info: foreach (Word.Shape bkMark in aDoc.Shapes) { if (bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Text.Contains("heading")) { // bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Paste(); bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Rtf).ToString(); //Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(DataFormats.Text).ToString(); // // } }

bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Textcontains plain text by definition, if you want formatted text you'll have to use clipboard pasting. To have control over what will actually get pasted you'll have to specify that you want RTF. IIRC there's aPasteSpecial(or something similar) where you can tell Word what format to paste. Regards, mav
