What you're describing are not bookmarks but formfields. ie:

LOCAL oWord,ix
oWord = Createobject("Word.Application")
With oWord
	.Documents.Open( getfile("DOC") ) && open your word doc with formfields in it
	.Visible = .T.
	.Activate
	With .ActiveDocument
		* Get
		For ix = 1 To .FormFields.Count
			? .FormFields(m.ix).Name,.FormFields(m.ix).Result
		Endfor
		* Set
		.FormFields("Text1").Result = "My Text" && assuming these form fields exist
		.FormFields("Check1").Checkbox.Value = .T.
		.FormFields("DropDown1").Result = "My DD" && auto added if not in list
		
		For ix = 1 To .FormFields.Count
			? .FormFields(m.ix).Name,.FormFields(m.ix).Result
		Endfor
	Endwith
Endwith
