Format not preserved when copying text from one bookmark to another

I'm trying to copy text from one Word document to another Word document using bookmarks dynamically through C# code. I'm able to retrieve only the data from the bookmark of one document and insert it into a other document, but the format of the text is changing.

For example, if I add some colour, font in the source document bookmark, the same format is not copied into the target document's bookmark; only the text is copied.

//getting the text from source documents bookmark.
string text = Document1.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref objI).Range.Text.ToString();
//copying the text to Document 2's bookmark
objWordDoc1.Bookmarks.get_Item(booktest).Range.Text = text;

How can I copy the formatting too?

You have two options:

  1. Use copy and paste, something like

    // Copy
Document1.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref objI).Range.Copy();

// Paste
objWordDoc1.Bookmarks.get_Item(booktest).Range.PasteAndFormat(WdRecoveryType.wdFormatOriginalFormatting);

  2. Work with Formatted text property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.range.formattedtext(v=office.11).aspx. (I didn't test this)

    Range text = Document1.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref objI).Range.FormattedText; objWordDoc1.Bookmarks.get_Item(booktest).Range = FormattedText;
