Note

If you operate with a selection range, the GetText method should be combined with a DocumentRange.BeginUpdateDocument - DocumentRange.EndUpdateDocument method pair. Otherwise, an incorrect document model might be selected, resulting in an exception “Error: specified document position or range belongs to other document or subdocument” being thrown.

For an example of use, refer to another SubDocument.GetText method overloads.
