NodeType Property
Returns a wdXMLNodeType constant that represents the type of node.
wdXMLNodeType can be one of the following wdXMLNodeType constants.
wdXMLNodeAttribute | Indicates an attribute node. |
wdXMLNodeElement | Indicates an element node. |
expression.NodeType
expression Required. An expression that returns an XMLNode object.
Remarks
An XMLNode object can be either an XML element or an attribute of an element. Use the NodeType property to determine which type of node you are working with so that you don't attempt to perform invalid operations on the node. For example, the Attributes property applies only to element nodes, although it will appear in the list of available properties for the XMLNode object.
Example
The following example adds the author attribute to the book element in the active document and then sets the value of the attribute.
Sub AddIDAttribute()
Dim objElement As XMLNode
Dim objAttribute As XMLNode
For Each objElement In ActiveDocument.XMLNodes
If objElement.NodeType = wdXMLNodeElement Then
If objElement.BaseName = "book" Then
Set objAttribute = objElement.Attributes _
.Add("author", objElement.NamespaceURI)
objAttribute.NodeValue = "David Barber"
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
