word structure in vb.net

[sarabonn]

Hallo everyone,

Iam creating a word document with some text from the textbox. The problem i have is iam using the below code

Text = Text & "<w:p wsp:rsidR='006A77CB' wsp:rsidRDefault='0071725D' wsp:rsidP='006A77CB'><w:pPr><w:jc w:val='right'/></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii='Arial' w:h-ansi='Arial' w:cs='Arial'/><wx:font wx:val='Arial'/><w:sz w:val='20'/></w:rPr><w:t>"

to make paragraph format and now if want to replace the character < from the textbox text i have a problem because the word paragraph structure also has the character as ashown above so that also getting replaced.. I could first replace the text and then add the paragraph styling but i have three function seperately which does the text paragraph styling so i remove in the first function but the second one can't because the word paragraph styling is added from the first function.

if the remove at the end i got the problem replacing the < character change the word paragraph styling < character also . so any idea ?.
