intriguing, pasting rtf to write usually works on all systems.
i’m sorry to hear that not even write.exe worked for you.
please try one more quick thing, before you file an issue report at the link at the bottom of this post.
just to make sure that notepad++ is able to correctly export formatted content to your clipboard at all.
close notepad++ if it is open
download this pre-built portable notepad++ npp.7.6.3.bin.zip from >>> here <<<.
(this is a portable, ready to go version for testing. it works completely isolated from, and independent to your current notepad++ installation and independent to all your plugins. it already includes nppexport, and helps to eliminate any problems caused by your current installation)
extract npp.7.6.3.bin.zip onto your desktop and open the resulting folder npp.7.6.3.bin
double click on notepad++.exe to run this
open any of the files you have tried before, select any part of it, and try to use plugins > nppexport > copy rtf to clipboard again.
note: there should not be any error messages at the right bottom of the screen, or anywhere else, while doing this
paste it to write.exe
if pasting rtf to write does not work now, there’s a possibility that some problems of your windows installation is causing this behaviour.
if you want to file an issue report, or contact one of the plugin’s developers, please visit this address:

please keep us informed about any success or failure.
especially as i have not been able to reproduce this behaviour on windows 10 pro x64 and windows 7 pro x64 using nppexport to rtf/html and pasting to ms word 2010-2016
