How to paste standard file to the disk from Clipboard

2
Hi,
I got a embedded file in a word document (Insert-->File). And I want to save that to a file to the disk. So far I copied the InlineShape to the clipboard. Then used following to get the file.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
  2. object fileobj;
  3.  
  4. if (data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.EnhancedMetafile))
  5. {
  6. fileobj = data.GetData(DataFormats.EnhancedMetafile);
  7.  
but last line throws an Exception

If I go to my windows explored and right click and paste, the file saves as a file I'm expecting. So I know the file has copied to the clipboard. But how to save that using code?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
GMan
