  • Count
    Type: System.Int32

    Optional. Specifies how many words to move the edit point to the left of its current position in the buffer.

   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")
       
   ' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.
   objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")
   objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint
        
   ' Insert ten lines of text.
   For iCtr = 1 To 10
     objeditpt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))
   Next iCtr
       
   ' Replace the eighth word on the third line with a new word.
