The first é worked fine for when I tested your code with every font I tried (though I had to test with different fonts, since I don't own the rather expensive ones you have! I prefer open source...). Be sure that TXC is saving the file using Unicode (UTF-8) character encoding. I think older versions of TXC don't support Unicode, so you'll need to use 2.0 alpha or beta or whatever it is now.
I tend to think the issue isn't so much with TeXnicCenter. When I run it with pdflatex, it works, but with xelatex it doesn't. That's with both of them running from TeXnicCenter.
Does it make a difference what font Word was using when you pasted? I would think the ligatures would only show up if the Word font had the same ones.
Word normally pastes it in whatever font the original was in. However, an easier way to test it is to attempt a text search with acrobat. With pdflatex and using those \pdfglyphtounicode mapping commands, I could find words with ligatures (e.g. fluid), but with xelatex, finds only work when their aren't ligatures (e.g. Fluid - with a capital F).
