Importing Selected Text From Other applications

7
Hi guys,

I am building a translating software that when you select text lets say in msn messenger, notepad, word... that it will translate it to a different language. I ran in to a problem importing the text. The most important is receiving text from a word document now my goal is that in Microsoft Word the user could select a certain word, hit a hot key, and it would translate it to a different word. The tranlating works great now but I am not able to import the text from Word to my application.. PLEASE HELP, I have been struggling with this problem for weeks!

(I AM PROGRAMMING IN C#)

Thank you sooo much in advanced!

When you say selected text do you mean highlight part of a word doc and then translate? Wouldn't your application have to be a plug in for word for that to work?

I'm sorry if my question was too difficult for you guys, I just thought that "the scripts" was very high level.
