    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(2).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "This is original text of the bookmark." 

    Dim commentText As Object = "This is some comment text." 
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Comments.Add(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range _
        .Words(4), commentText)
    Bookmark1.Words.First.Comments.Add(Bookmark1.Words.First, _
        commentText)
    Bookmark1.InsertBefore("Text inserted before bookmark. ")
    Bookmark1.InsertAfter(" Text inserted after bookmark.")

    Dim range1 As Word.Range = Bookmark1.GoToNext( _
        Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToComment)
    Dim range2 As Word.Range = Bookmark1.GoToPrevious( _
        Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToComment)
