Copy contents of Browser Control to Microsoft Word

[tomatocrush]

Hello,

In a VB.NET windows application, I am attempting to copy the contents of an AxBrowswer window to a word.application document. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have the following, but it doesn't work:

wrdApp2 = CreateObject("Word.Application")

wrdApp2.Documents.Open("C:\Test1.doc")
AxWebBrowser1.Select()
Clipboard.SetDataObject(AxWebBrowser1)

wrdApp2.Documents.paste(Clipboard.GetDataObject)
wrdApp2.Documents.Save()

Overall
I am able to copy one word document to another and open a word document in a WebBrowser for editing. Know I need to know how to copy the contents of a browser to a word document. My ultimate goal is to put xml data tables into MS Word (not supported in Office 2000 without building some sort of parser).
Scenario is:
1. User enters data into Dataset. (Complete)
2. Program Saves as xml. (Complete)
3. Opening in web browser using html + xsl style. (Complete)
4. copy to microsoft word document. (I'm stuck)

Thanks for all your help.

You should ask VB.NET questions , in VB.NET Forum not VB6 Forum .

'Try something like this?
wrdApp2.Selection.Paste

Other than that I don't know

Thanks Lee. I think you got me one step closer. I was able to paste the contents of the clipboard using your command.

Now all I need to know is how to Copy the contents from the web browser control such that it is in a format that can be pasted into word. Currently the format I copy from the WebBrowser is not valid for wrdapp.selection.paste. (Either that, or I am not copying the value at all).

Essentially, now I just need to perform a select all (CTRL+A) and then copy (CTRL+C).

Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated!

Try playing around with this, see if it does what you need. It should copy everything to the clipboard ready for pasting into word.

' select all from webbrowser
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_SELECTALL, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER
' copy the text to Clipboard
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_COPY, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER
' clear the selection
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_CLEARSELECTION, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER

Thanks for all your help!
