title: VB.NET Microsoft Office Interop Bookmarks
body: <p>I am working on a project which will include automatically filling out some templates.  I plan to use word bookmarks to create the templates and then fill them in via VB.  This would be no problem, but the problem is that I would like to allow other templates to be used.  Is there a way I can open a word document and get all the bookmarks out of it?  I need a list, so I can determine which ones I am able to fill out, then send the correct values.  Here is the code I am working with if you need a refresher.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
  
  
      Dim oWord As Word.Application
      Dim oDoc As Word.Document
  
      oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
      oWord.Visible = True
      oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add("Z:\DJ\Documents\Reminder_Letter.doc")
      oDoc.Bookmarks("full_name").Range.Text = "John Smith"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically, I just want to make sure that "full_name" exists in a document before I try to add a value to it, so I need a list of bookmarks in the document.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Kevin</p>
