    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")
    Bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text."
    Bookmark1.Characters(6).Select()

    Dim Bookmark2 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Application.Selection.Range, _
        "Bookmark2")
    MessageBox.Show("Total Bookmarks in bookmark1: " _
        & Bookmark1.Bookmarks.Count.ToString)

End Sub
private void BookmarkBookmarks()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text.";
