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
