The document we use for all the examples below is: 

Document$ = "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; 
                     The blood tide is lost everywhere"

Replace lost with loosed:Pos% = 0

Search$ = "lost"

InsRepDoc$ = "loosed"

So: 

Document1$ = REPLINS$(Document$, "lost", "loosed", 0)

returns:

Add , and immediately behind loosed:

Pos% = 1

Search$ = "loosed"

InsRepDoc$ = ", and"

So: 

Document2$ = REPLINS$(Document1$, "loosed", ", and", 1)

returns:

Add -dimmed immediately before  tide, including the space, so make sure to define " tide":

Pos% = -1

Search$ = " tide"

InsRepDoc$ = "-dimmed"

So: Document3$ = REPLINS$(Document2$, " tide", "-dimmed", -1)

returns:

Add Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world after the first sentence:

Pos% = 1

Search$ = "NullString"

InsRepDoc$ = "Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world"

So: 

Document4$ = REPLINS$(Document3$, "NullString", "Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world", 1)

returns:

Add Turning and turning in the widening gyre two lines before the first sentence:

Pos% = -2

Search$ = "NullString"

InsRepDoc$ = "Turning and turning in the widening gyre"   

So: Document5$ = REPLINS$(Document4$, "NullString", "Turning and turning in the widening gyre", -2)

returns:

Add The falcon cannot hear the falconer; one line after the word widening:Pos% = 2: the insert will be done (Pos%-1) lines after the line with Search$

Search$ = "widening"

InsRepDoc$ = "The falcon cannot hear the falconer;" 

So: Document6$ = REPLINS$(Document5$, "widening", "The falcon cannot hear the falconer;", 2)

returns:

Add The Second Coming two lines before the word widening:

Pos% = -2: the insert will be done -2 lines before the line with Search$

Search$ = "widening"

InsRepDoc$ = "The Second Coming"  

So: 

Document7$ = REPLINS$(Document6$, "widening", "The Second Coming", -2)

So: 

returns:
