Hi jason,

Using java Syntax Highlighting

     String itemId = "{2e80dc51-dc3b-4296-bf09-3e682aab035a}".toLowerCase();
                         CustomXmlDataStoragePart customXmlDataStoragePart = wordMLPackage.getCustomXmlDataStorageParts().get(itemId);
                         CustomXmlDataStorage customXmlDataStorage = customXmlDataStoragePart.getData();

  Document doc= ((CustomXmlDataStorageImpl)customXmlDataStorage).getDocument();
  // remove  source of fund first row
                 doc.removeChild(((CustomXmlDataStorageImpl)customXmlDataStorage).xpathGetNodes("/investmentTemplate/sourceoffunds", " ").get(0));

removeChild is used to remove a child from its parent.

Here, sourceoffunds is probably not a child of the document element: print out the node name of doc to check.

It would be simpler not to use xpath to do this operation, but if you must, then having found the node n you want to remove, do something like n.getParent().removeChild(n)

You can either modify it, or replace the whole document (as to which see previous posts).

I've already given you hints as to how to modify it. Its really just basic W3C DOM manipulation, for which you'd probably be better asking elsewhere.
