BookmarkStart class

BookmarkStart class

Represents a start of a bookmark in a Word document. To learn more, visit the Working with Bookmarks documentation article.

Remarks

A complete bookmark in a Word document consists of a BookmarkStart and a matching BookmarkEnd with the same bookmark name.

BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd are just markers inside a document that specify where the bookmark starts and ends.

Use the BookmarkStart.bookmark class as a “facade” to work with a bookmark as a single object.
