The following sample Microsoft 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
