使用Microsoft.Interop.Office.Word插入格式化的脚注

Question

I am trying to inset formatted footnotes into an open word document using a WinForms application.

While I am able to use Interop.Word to set plain text footnotes and so long as I use plain text it works fine. However, I also want the user to be able to paste rich text formatted text from a rich text box into the footnote. This never works and always shows the rich text codes.

I know that footnotes can take formatting because if I put the rich text int a clipboard and paste it into a footnote the formatting is preserved.

I have even tried putting the rich text into the clipboard and then setting the string (s) to the clipboard contents using "s = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Rtf);" It seems as if this should be exactly what I am pasting, but if I paste into the footnote it works. If the program sets it using the code below it does not work.

I appreciate any help.

application = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Word.Application");

application.ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add(application.Selection.Range, "", s);

Cindy's answer was helpful. I fixed the problem by doing the following:

1. Saving the current selected position in the document and current clipboard contents.
2. Inserting a blank footnote.
3. Selecting the footnote.
4. Putting the string into the clipboard as rich text format.
5. Sending/pasting the information from the clipboard to Word.
6. Restoring the clipboard and original selected position in the document.
