You can use Win32 SendInput method, and direct your SendInput to Word.
Via SendInput you can tell that you what to press "CTRL", then "X" and release "X" and "CTRL", simulating a CTRL+X for Cut.

Install Primary Interop Assemblies for whichever version of Office / Word you are using.
Add a reference to the Word PIA in your project.
You can now control Word directly from your C# code.
The structure of your code will be pretty much the same as if you'd written a VBA macro within Word itself - in VB.NET, even the syntax will be pretty close, but for C# you'll have to do a bit of editing.
So to get a quick start, go to Word, record a macro to do what you want and look at it.
Now replicate what it does in your C# code.
