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 all of the nodes matching an XPath expression.
Set cxns = cxp1.SelectNodes("//*[@unitPrice > 20]")
