SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Word 2003, you cannot insert more then one line of text into a protected XML node by using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, add each line of text to the XML node one line at a time. You must be careful where the insertion point is when you add content to the XML node so that you do not replace existing content.

Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following macro provides one possible approach. It inserts the word “Test” followed by two paragraph marks, followed by the word “Test” in the third XML node in the document: Sub test

ActiveDocument.XMLNodes(3).Range.Select

ActiveDocument.XMLNodes(3).Text = &quot;Test&quot;

ActiveDocument.XMLNodes(3).Range.Select

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd

Selection.InsertAfter vbCrLf

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd

Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1

Selection.InsertAfter vbCrLf

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd

Selection.InsertAfter &quot;Test&quot;

End Sub
