MS Word macro, copying current paragraph text to clipboard

From this page I found out how to create a macro that selects current paragraph text.

Sub SelectCurrentParagraph()
   Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select
End Sub

But I ned this: When I put cursor inside a paragraph, macro will select paragraph text and copy it to clipboard. How can I do this?

The following will copy your selection but checking for wdSelectionNormal will skip frames, shapes etc:

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select

If Selection.Type = wdSelectionNormal Then
    Selection.Copy
End If

You can move around the word using different units (ie wdParagraph, wdCharacter, wdLine). this will select the current paragraph and copy to the clipboard.

Sub SelectCurrentParagraph()
    Selection.StartOf Unit:=wdParagraph
    Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdParagraph
    Selection.Copy
End Sub
