Short break for a stupid question. In VS2005 I want to write a macro that
writes some static text at the current cusrsor location.

Here is what I have (that doesn't work):

DTE.ActiveDocument.OutputString("Copyright (C) 2000-2007 Joe Bloggs
Software, Inc. All Rights Reserved")

Corrections appreciated.

Thanks!

It should look like:
Sub InsertText()
DTE.UndoContext.Open("Insert Text")
Try
Dim txt As TextSelection
txt = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection

txt.Insert("Copyright (C) 2000-2007 Joe Bloggs Software,
Inc. All Rights Reserved", _
vsInsertFlags.vsInsertFlagsInsertAtEnd)
txt.SmartFormat()
Catch ex As System.Exception
End Try
DTE.UndoContext.Close()
End Sub

I haven't tested it but it should work. I just modified my macro from
