Sub IsEmptyExample()  
    ' Before running this example, open a text document.  
    Dim objSel As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection  
    If objSel.IsEmpty Then  
        ' If there is no text selected, swap the words before and after   
        ' the insertion point. We begin by selecting the word before

                ' The previous call to WordRight may have skipped some   
                ' white space instead of an actual word. In that case,   
                ' we should call it again.  
                objSel.WordRight(True)  
            End If  

            ' Insert the new text at the end of the selection.

        ' text selection.

        objSel.MoveToPoint(objSel.BottomPoint)  
        objSel.WordRight(True)  
        If objSel.Text.StartsWith(" ") Or objSel.Text.StartsWith(Microsoft.VisualBasic.ControlChars.Tab) Then

        End If  

        ' Insert the text, overwriting the existing text and leaving   
        ' the selection containing the inserted text.
