Hi Sergej,

This will work to send the entire document text to a memory variable. Now this is Word2000 code but I think it also works in Word97 this way.

=oWord.ActiveDocument.Select
cText=oWord.Selection.Text
cText=LEFT(cText,LEN(cText)-1) && Required

You could then put it into the clipboard in VFP with:

_CLIPTEXT = cText
