   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")  

   ' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.  
   objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")  
   objMovePt = objTextDoc.EndPoint.CreateEditPoint  
   objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint  

   ' Insert ten lines of text.  
   For iCtr = 1 To 10  
      objEditPt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))  
   Next iCtr  
   objEditPt.StartOfDocument()  
   objMovePt.EndOfDocument()  
   ' Replace all occurrences of "test" with "thing."  
   MsgBox("Replacing all text with a new string...")  
   objEditPt.ReplaceText(objMovePt, "ALL TEXT REPLACED WITH THIS SENTENCE.", vsEPReplaceTextOptions.vsEPReplaceTextAutoformat)  
End Sub

Remarks

ReplaceText replaces the text between the edit point and PointOrCount with Text, making an attempt to correctly preserve the locations of markers for breakpoints, named shortcuts, and so forth.
