    bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("Northwind");
    //Delete bookmark content without deleting the format in the target document.
    bookmarkNavigator.DeleteBookmarkContent(false);
    document.Save("Result.docx", FormatType.Docx);
    document.Close();
}

Private Sub button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim document As New WordDocument("Bookmarks.docx", FormatType.Docx)
    'Create the bookmark navigator instance to access the bookmark

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
WordDocumentPart	documentPart	The WordDocumentPart to replace the bookmark contents.

    //Move the virtual cursor to the before the end location of the bookmark "Northwind"
    bookmarkNavigator.MoveToBookmark("Northwind");
    //Get the bookmark content as WordDocumentPart
    WordDocumentPart wordDocumentPart = bookmarkNavigator.GetContent();
    //Close the template document
    templateDocument.Close();
    //Load the Word document with bookmark NorthwindDB
    WordDocument document = new WordDocument("Bookmarks.docx", FormatType.Docx);
    //Create the bookmark navigator instance to access the bookmark
    bookmarkNavigator = new BookmarksNavigator(document);
