textRange property

The range of text to delete, based on TextElement indexes.

There is always an implicit newline character at the end of a shape's or table cell's text that cannot be deleted. Range.Type.ALL will use the correct bounds, but care must be taken when specifying explicit bounds for range types FROM_START_INDEX and FIXED_RANGE. For example, if the text is "ABC", followed by an implicit newline, then the maximum value is 2 for text_range.start_index and 3 for text_range.end_index. Deleting text that crosses a paragraph boundary may result in changes to paragraph styles and lists as the two paragraphs are merged. Ranges that include only one code unit of a surrogate pair are expanded to include both code units.
