Method 1: To Return a List of Bookmarks Sorted Alphabetically
The following macro demonstrates how to return the list of bookmarks in a document alphabetically. Note that, in this example, the Range object has been excluded from the ActiveDocument.Bookmarks command line. Sub GetBookMarksByName Dim bmBookMark As Bookmark For Each bmBookMark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks MsgBox bmBookMark.Name Next End Sub

Method 2: To Return a List of Bookmarks Sorted by Placement
The following macro demonstrates how to return the list of bookmarks in a document by order of placement. Note that, in this example, the Range object is part of the ActiveDocument.Bookmarks command line. Sub GetBookMarksByPlacement Dim bmBookMark As Bookmark For Each bmBookMark In ActiveDocument.Range.Bookmarks MsgBox bmBookMark.Name Next End Sub For more information about Bookmarks, from the Visual Basic Editor, click the Office Assistant, type Bookmarks, click Search, and then click to view "Bookmarks Collection."
