Parameters
XPath
Type: System.StringA valid XPath string. For more information about XPath, see XPath Reference.
PrefixMapping
Type: System.StringProvides the prefix in the schema against which to perform the search. Use the PrefixMapping parameter if your XPath parameter uses names to search for elements.
FastSearchSkippingTextNodes
Type: System.Booleantrue skips all text nodes while searching for the specified node. false includes text nodes in the search. Default value is false.
Return Value

A Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object that represents the first node that matches the XPath parameter in the document; nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no nodes matching the XPath parameter are found.
Remarks
Setting the FastSearchSkippingTextNodes parameter to true diminishes performance because Microsoft Office Word searches all nodes in a document against the text contained in the node.
