Class XMLNode (Word VBA)

The class XMLNode represents a single XML element applied to a document.

Class Document gives access to class XMLNode.


Dim xml as XMLNode
Set xml = Dim strXPath As String: strXPath = 
ActiveDocument.SelectSingleNode(XPath:=strXPath)

For Each

Here is an example of processing the XMLNode items in a collection. 


Dim nod As XMLNode 
Dim strValid As String 
For Each nod In ActiveDocument.XMLNodes 
 nod.Validate 
 If nod.ValidationStatus <> wdXMLValidationStatusOK Then 
 strValid = strValid & nod.BaseName & vbTab & nod.ValidationErrorText & vbCrLf 
 End If 
Next 
MsgBox "The following elements do not validate against " &  "the schema." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strValid & vbCrLf &  "You should fix these elements before continuing."

Document - Represents a document. The Document object is a member of the Documents collection. The Documents collection contains all the Document objects that are currently open in Word.

Range - Represents a contiguous area in a document. Each Range object is defined by a starting and ending character position.

XMLNodes - A collection of XMLNode objects that represents the nodes in the tree view of the XML Structure task pane, which indicates the elements that a user has applied to a document. Each node in the tree view is an instance of an XMLNode object. The hierarchy in the tree view indicates whether a node contains child nodes.Y
