Accepted Answer

All you need to do is this:

```
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using MSWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace ConsoleApplication6
{

    {
        static void Main()
        {
            var application = new MSWord.Application();
            var originalDocument = application.Documents.Open(@"C:\whatever.docx");

originalDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
            var originalText = originalDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection;

var newDocument = new MSWord.Document();
            newDocument.Range().Text = originalText.Text;
            newDocument.SaveAs(@"C:\whateverelse.docx");

originalDocument.Close(false);
            newDocument.Close();

application.Quit();

Marshal.ReleaseComObject(application);
        }
    }
}
```
