My problem is to write a macro that will copy a range of cells like (B2: B15), auto open and paste the data to a word processor like notepad or MS word without the gridlines.

You cannot automate Notepad. You have two options to go directly to a text file automatically:
1. use Excel VBA to launch Notepad, then use SendKeys command to paste
2. use Excel VBA and the TextStream Object to output directly to a text file
I greatly recommend option 2 over option 1. In VB Editor, do a search on the text stream object. The example code (shown below) is exactly what you need.
Another option would be to automate Word. This is similar to Option 2 above. It is a bit more complicated, though, since Word has so many more options than a simple text file.

The code works but how do I make the writeline syntax copy my range of excell data to the textfile.txt.
Please help.
Hi,
I would wait for MSP77079 reply as my way you'll need to set a reference to the Microsoft Scripting RunTime Library.
If you do want to try this then In the VBA editor, go to Tools, References, and find and check this library. Then, you can use code such as the following:

Emmamaki, the difference between what the Noob suggest and what I suggest is minor (and perhaps esoteric); namely, early vs. late binding of an object.
Below I have taken Noob's code and shown with comments what the difference is:
