Why don't you press "Enter" after insterting the text? In other words, can you be more clear and specific about your problem, because I didn't get it?

Angelina,

maybe this little example will set you in the right direction ??

Sub Main
Dim MyDocument As Object, MyText As Object
Dim MyCursor As Object
Dim ParaEnd As Integer

MyDocument = ThisComponent
MyText = MyDocument.Text
ParaEnd = com.sun.star.text.ControlCharacter.PARAGRAPH_BREAK
MyCursor= MyText.createTextCursor

MyText.insertString( MyCursor, "Start of text (first line)", false)
MyText.insertControlCharacter( MyCursor, ParaEnd , false)
MyText.insertString( MyCursor, "Second line", false)
MyText.insertControlCharacter( MyCursor, ParaEnd , false)
MyText.insertString( MyCursor, "Begin paragraph 3 ", false)
MyText.insertControlCharacter( MyCursor, ParaEnd , false)
MyText.insertControlCharacter( MyCursor, ParaEnd , false)
MyText.insertString( MyCursor, "Two paragraph breaks added ", false)

MyCursor.paraStyleName= "Standard"
MyCursor.CharColor = 225
MyCursor.CharShadowed = true
MyText.insertString( MyCursor, " added in colour", false)

End Sub

Good luck
DiGro

thank you very mutch DiGro, your sub run successfuly
I've just changed the instruction "MyCursor= MyText.createTextCursor" to
"Mycursor= MyText.currentcontroller.getviewcursor()" because TextCursor cannot be viewed by the user but viewcursor is the cursor we can view
Thank you
