That is wrong and right somewhat. Going along with the way you want to do it...why you have your paragraph, you can get the character runs, now look for the text in your character runs. delete the individual character runs.
Actually, the best way would be to get the document's range. Call text() on that range. find the text you want to delete. create a new Range based on the text offsets then delete this range. The problem with doing it that way is that the Range offsets are stored as byte offsets and not character offsets. So if you have unicode characters this will be off somewhat. May be I need to look at fixing that. -Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Burch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "POI Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Ryan Ackley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 9:19 AM Subject: Re: bug HWPF? > On Tue, 27 Apr 2004, Ryan Ackley wrote: > > I saw, thanks Nick.
