Method 1: To Return a List of Bookmarks Sorted Alphabetically

The following macro demonstrates how to return the list of bookmarks in a document sorted 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
