Example

The following example changes the text inside the first <H1> tag in the active document.

    Dim objTag As IHTMLElement
    
Set objTag = ActiveDocument.all.tags("h1").Item(0)
    
objTag.innerText = "Microsoft Home Page"
  

The following example retrieves the active element in the active document, creates a String from the text contained in the active element, less any spaces, and then places a bookmark anchor, with a name attribute equal to the new String, around the text the active element contains.

    Dim objElement As IHTMLElement
Dim strElement As String
    
Set objElement = ActiveDocument.activeElement
strElement = Trim(Replace(objElement.innerText, " ", ""))

With objElement
   .innerHTML = "<A name=" & strElement & ">" & .innerHTML & "</A>"
End With
