Problem with operations

For my current project I need to know when a paragraph is removed. I am using the FlowOperationEvent and if the operation is a DeleteTextOperation I determine if there occured the deletion of a paragraph. The problem with this approach is that if the user selects some text and inserts any character the operation given to the event is the InsertTextOperation. Shouldn't there be two separate events for the deletion and the insertion of the new character? Is there any better way to determine if something has been deleted?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You could look at the absoluteStart and absoluteEnd values for the InsertTextOperation. If the two are not equal, some text has been deleted.

Note that there are other operations that may involve deletion of text: InsertInlineGraphicOperation, CutOperation.
