The following sample Visual Basic macro tests whether a bookmark named Test exists. If so, the macro selects the bookmark. If the bookmark exists within a header or footer, Word automatically opens the header or footer pane.
Sub GotoHeaderBookmark()
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("test") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Select
End If
End Sub
