Dim cxp1 As CustomXMLPart
Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode
' Add a custom xml part.
ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts.Add "<supplier>"
' Return the first custom xml part with the given namespace.
Set cxp1 = ActiveDocument.CustomXMLParts("urn:invoice:namespace")
' Get a node using XPath.
Set cxn = cxp1(1).SelectSingleNode("//*[@supplierID = 1]")
