Sub ItemOperationsExample()  
   Dim Cmds As Commands = DTE.Commands  
   Dim Cmd As Command  
   Dim Doc As Document  
   Dim TxtDoc As TextDocument  

   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")  
   Doc = ActiveDocument  
   TxtDoc = Doc.Object("TextDocument")  

   For Each Cmd In Cmds  
      If (Cmd.Name <> "") Then  
         TxtDoc.Selection.Text = Cmd.Name & vbLf  
         TxtDoc.Selection.Collapse()  
      End If  
   Next  
End Sub
