  • I don't think you can catch the Word/Excel events. You can however do it for the whole system but that will impact other applications aswell. – Luud van Keulen Sep 27 '16 at 08:30
  • I don't think you will be able to prevent those events. If you're looking to secure documents against copying, see what Office itself can do or use PDF. – MarioDS Sep 27 '16 at 08:30

    Wouldn't be much of a word processor if you deny copy/paste –  Sep 27 '16 at 08:30
  • I think what you can do is to [monitor the ClipBoard events](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/621577/clipboard-event-c-sharp) through your Winform project, but it will affect all application. – Bolu Sep 27 '16 at 08:31
  • I thinking about to use hook prevent copy/paste events – ngoc chau nguyen Sep 27 '16 at 08:33

Only way to do that is to open Word in sandbox application or some frame and remove these shortcuts in sandbox-frame-enviroment. Also this word isntance SHOULD have addon/app/addin that disables UI buttons for that. There is not other way because events belongs to system Clipboard not to word and blocking them can make whole system break.
