VSTO Word multiple lines in content control





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

Is it somehow possible to add content control over multiple lines?



Currently I am adding content control like that:



bm = doc.Bookmarks.Add("bookmark", app.Selection.Range);
ContentControl cc = doc.ContentControls.Add(WdContentControlType.wdContentControlRichText, bm.Range);
cc.MultiLine = true;
cc.Tag = _BOOKMARK;


But I always get a ComException when I select/mark multiple lines in word and try to add a content control for them. Is it allowed or possible to do this?

          Inserting a content control "around" lines of text already in the document doesn't work, as far as I know.



          Instead, assign the multiple lines to a Range object. Insert the content control, then use the Range.FormattedText property to "copy" these lines into it. Aftwards, delete the Range. Something like this (typed off the top of my head as I'm at a mobile device)



          Word.Range rngSel = app.Selection.Range;
          bm = doc.Bookmarks.Add("bookmark", rngSel);
          Word.Range rngCC = rngSel.Duplicate;
          //Insert the content control immediately after the selection, for example
          rngCC.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
          ContentControl cc = doc.ContentControls.Add(WdContentControlType.wdContentControlRichText, rngCC);
          cc.MultiLine = true;
          cc.Tag = _BOOKMARK;
          cc.Range.FormattedText = rngSel.FormattedText;
          RngSel.Delete();
