Hi,

I did not get your question. Do you want to say that you try to access the word file from your local system. and with application you try to get number of selected words in that file.

Hi,

I think you can try by taking help of object of Clipboard. I think that can give you the text that you have copied but i am not sure that will that give you text that you just selected and not copied. One more thing you can do is, You can simply simply copy the selected data on clipboard and then retrive it from there.

Thanks
