You can return a list of bookmarks in a document sorted either alphabetically or by placement. Omitting or including the Range object in your command determines that sort order. This article contains examples for both methods.

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: 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: 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
