Opening a Word doc in the Web Browser, and getting a selected text

Hi everybody.

I open a Word document in the web browser control, I then select some text
in it using a mouse, and I want to paste the selected text into another text
box on the same form, but it does not work.

The code looks like this:

Clipboard.SetDataObject("");
_web.Focus();

_web.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID.OLECMDID_COPY,
SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER ,ref refmissing , ref
refmissing);

IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

if(iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text))
{
textBox2.Text = (String)iData.GetData(DataFormats.Text);
}

It is as if the selected text gets copied somewhere else. I did an extensive
search on the web, but to no avail.
Sending keys to the browser control will get no results, like:

_web.Focus();
SendKeys.Send("^c");

Nothing in the clipboard aftert that operation either.

Thanks a lot.
