Your ActiveDocument HTML body elements should look empty as shown below.
<body> </body>
The statements below will add a new div element to the body.
I call this div "maincontainer" because later I add several additional div elements inside it.
strHTML = "<div id=" & _
"""" & "maincontainer" & """" & _
">" & _
vbCrLf & _
"</div><!-- /// End MainContainer ///-->"
ActiveDocument.all.tags("body"). _
Item(0).innerHTML = strHTML
The body will look as shown below after the above statements are run.
<body> <div id="maincontainer"> </div><!-- /// End MainContainer ///--> </body>
The comment line after the div end tag is something I typically add to help reading my HTML
