Hi Dudley,

like this:

Sub Macro2()
Dim sTmp As String
Dim oClp As DataObject
Set oClp = New DataObject
oClp.GetFromClipboard
sTmp = oClp.GetText
MsgBox sTmp
End Sub

You need a reference to the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Library.

The odd thing, at least with the versions of Word I know,
is that you can't set a reference to the library in user interface.
Instead, you have to insert a userform.
The reference comes with the userform.
You may, after saving, remove the userform.
The reference will stay.

Strange, but that's the way it is.

If the information is coming from the document, there are simpler and better
ways than using the clipboard to get that information into a variable for
use as a filename.

eg

Dim pFileName as string
pFileName = "C:\MyDocuments\MyFolder\" & Selection & ".txt"
