Clipboard Problem

I work for a University and we are looking into a feature that records if any of the students used a website for reference, ie cntrl +C and then paste within a word document. Is there a way to detect what website they copied onto the clipboard from.

Any help much appreciated

Chris

    I don't see why not...you will have to use VBA syntax inside a word macro vs. .Net syntax

    My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText will return the text that they copied

    To get the URL that the text was copied from...you need to keep track of the URLs that are being entered and navigated to....when you detect that something has been placed on the clipboard...then check the last URL in your list to see where it is comming from

    Thanks for the help,

    One last question, could this be made within a macro that sits on a word template, that we could give the students.
