Copying Rich Text onto the Clipboard

[dqrose]

Hi,

I want to copy the contents of a VB5 RichTextBox into MS Word. My RichTextBox is called MyRTFBox. If I use

Clipboard.SetText = MyRTFBox.SelText

and then either Edit | Paste or <Cntl>-V in Word then I lose all the rich text formatting. If on the other hand I use

Clipboard.SetText = MyRTFBox.SelRTF

and then paste it into Word as above then I get an unformatted document with all the RTF codes. Neither of these is what I want.

I can get exactly what I want simply by using <Ctrl>-C to copy the contents of the RTF box into the clipboard, and then pasting the clipboard into Word as described above - so I suppose I need to know what VB5 command reproduces the effect of typing <Ctrl>-C. Can anybody tell me what that is please?

Many thanks.
