   ' Perform operations on the text.  
   objSel.StartOfDocument(False)  
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstColumn, 4)  
   objSel.Copy()  
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)  
   objSel.Cut()  
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)  
   objSel.Delete()  
   Position(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText, 4)  
   objSel.DeleteLeft(6)  
   objSel.DestructiveInsert("NEW TEXT")  
End Sub  

Sub Position(ByVal pos As vsStartOfLineOptions, ByVal ipos As Integer)  
   ' Moves the insertion point down to the beginning of the next line,   
   ' then highlights the right-most four characters.  
   objSel.LineDown()  
   objSel.StartOfLine(vsStartOfLineOptions.vsStartOfLineOptionsFirstText)  
   objSel.CharRight(True, 4)  
End Sub

Remarks

Delete deletes the text selection without first copying it to the clipboard. If no text is selected, then Delete deletes Count characters to the right of the active end point. If Count is negative, then Delete performs like the DeleteLeft.
