Dim cxn As CustomXMLNode
With ActiveDocument
' Return the first custom xml part with the given root namespace.
Set cxp1 = .CustomXMLParts("urn:invoice:namespace") '
' Get node using XPath expression.
Set cxn = cxp1.SelectSingleNode("//*[@supplierID = 1]")
' Replace one subtree and its children with another.
cxn.ReplaceChildSubtree("<rebates><rebate>0.10</rebate></rebates>", "//discounts")
End With
