This example is for a document-level customization.

private void BookmarkGoToNext()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Text = "This is the first paragraph.";
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
       this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[2].Range,
       "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "This is original text of the bookmark.";

    object commentText = "This is some comment text.";
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Comments.Add(this.Paragraphs[1]
        .Range.Words[4], ref commentText);
    bookmark1.Words.First.Comments.Add(bookmark1.Words.First,
        ref commentText);
    
    bookmark1.InsertBefore("Text inserted before bookmark. ");
    bookmark1.InsertAfter(" Text inserted after bookmark.");
    
    Word.Range range1 = bookmark1.GoToNext(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToComment);
    Word.Range range2 = bookmark1.GoToPrevious(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToComment);

    MessageBox.Show("Using GoToNext, the comment is at position " 
        + range1.Start.ToString() + "\n" +
        "Using GoToPrevious, the comment is at position "
        + range2.Start.ToString());
}

Private Sub BookmarkGoToNext()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "This is the first paragraph."

    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)
