Hi,

I use the following to save the content and restore to the clipboard but
finally the clipboard is empty:

private IDataObject _clipboardContent;

private void StoreClipboardContent()

{

_clipboardContent = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

}

private void RestoreClipboardContent()

{

Clipboard.SetDataObject(_clipboardContent, true);

}

As I called:

StoreClipboardContent();

rngTarget.Copy();

rngInsertBookmark.Paste();

RestoreClipboardContent();



After application exits, I opened a word document and CTRL-V, there is
nothing to be pasted.
