Seems that you're finding the bookmark correctly, but then copying it wrong. You're selecting (highlighting) the contents of the bookmark, but then actually copying the contents of a different range (when you go objWord.Range(ref oMissing, ref oMissing) you're basically identifying the entire document body, because you didn't specify the start and end positions).

I think the correct code would be:

C#

objWord.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oName).Range.Copy(); // Copy range directly instead of selecting it and then trying to copy it

//Copy the shape in to target dc
wordApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.Paste();
