Saving from a RichTextbox to a Word Document C#

Question

I am having trouble saving the word document in C#. the text is pasted in the word document, however saving the file is the problem.

wordDoc.Application oWord;
wordDoc.Document oDoc;
oWord = new wordDoc.Application();
oWord.Visible = true;
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add();
Clipboard.SetText(_Text);
oDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Paste();
string fileName = @"C:\Users\Sam\Documents\NewDocument.docx";
oWord.Application.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2(fileName);
oDoc.Close();

The error that occurs is "Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." I believe it's the copying of the rich text box.

UPDATE I copied the contents from the rich text box and performed the method manually and this saved with no errors.

System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox rtb = new System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox();
rtb.Text = _Text;
rtb.SaveFile(@"C:\Users\Sam\Documents\NewDocument.rtf");

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application winword = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();

//Set animation status for word application
winword.ShowAnimation = false;

The error also occurs on ShowAnimation i am using office 2007, however i could be using any version of office.

@mohsen i followed the example of going to rtb and there is no text inside the document, see update — Bish25, Jun 15 '16 at 10:39
Does the code work if you leave out the `_Text` copy/paste operations? At that point you should have an empty document. — Ken Brittain, Jun 15 '16 at 11:26

I managed to solved the issue, it was something to do with the latest version on Interop.Word version 15.0.0.0. I downloaded the previous version 12.0.0.0 and worked, had to change some of the code. SaveAs2 to SaveAs. If anyone has a link of where I can report a bug, please comment.
