capture selected or highlighted text from any active windows in c#

Hi,
i am developing windows application in c#.net.
I need to be able to copy the text from any application or document where text can be highlighted or selected(.txt, .doc, .pdf, html, .chm, .hlp, ppt, xls).

I think it is possible. but how it is possible?
