For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Determining the Number of Bookmarks Defined in a Document.
If you are writing a macro, you can determine the number of bookmarks defined in a document by using the Count property with the Bookmarks collection object. This is done using the following VBA syntax:
x = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count
where x is the variable you can then use in other VBA macro lines.
