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
