    WordProcessingEditOptions editOptions = new WordProcessingEditOptions
    {
        EnablePagination = false,
        EnableLanguageInformation = true
    };

    EditableDocument editable = editor.Edit(editOptions);

        "<span class = \"text001\">&#xa0;</span>",
        "<span class = \"text001\">New text</span>");

    EditableDocument updatedDoc = EditableDocument.FromMarkup(updatedHtml);
