(OP)
I don't know how to watch the bookmark contents on the screen. I have typed the following:

dim lbookmark as string

 If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("BMK_Phone1") = True Then
  ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BMK_Phone1").Range.Text = "Pepe"
End If

lbookmark = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BMK_Phone1").Range.Text

If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BMK_Phone1").Range.Text = "Pepe" Then
   Msgx = "Phone1 value is Pepe"
   Tit = "Warning"
   rc = MsgBox(Msgx, vbOKOnly, Tit)
Else
   Msgx = "Phone1 value is " & lbookmark
   Tit = "Warning"
   rc = MsgBox(Msgx, vbOKOnly, Tit)
End If

The result after running this lines is lbookmark="" instead of Pepe and I don't know why. Anyone knows what's the problem?

Thank you very much.

RE: Contents of a bookmark

Shouldn't the exist check perhaps be :

If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BMK_Phone1").Exists=True Then

RE: Contents of a bookmark

sounds more logical to me, yeah
