Dear Experts:

I would like to copy the path of the currently open file into the
clipboard using VBA, e.g. C:\test\MyDocument.doc.

I hope this is feasible.

Thank you very much in advance for your valuable help.

Based on the code in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/ManipulateClipboard.htm :

Sub CopyDocPath()
Dim MyData As DataObject
Dim strClip As String
strClip = ActiveDocument.FullName

Set MyData = New DataObject

MyData.SetText strClip
MyData.PutInClipboard
End Sub

In order to make this work, you MUST set a reference to the "Microsoft
Forms 2.0 Object Library" in the VBA editor by clicking Tools >
References and putting a check mark next to that item in the list.
