Table names or field names ? Field names I guess :)
Practically would choose the shorter list but instead of not knowing it beforehand and don't want to query I'd choose looping field names and check if a corresponding bookmark exists (not fully tested but after all those OLE work it sounds to me that VBA code is much slower than VFP code and I prefer to loop 250+ in VFP instead of 20 in VBA:)

with oWord.ActiveDocument
  for ix = 1 to fcount()
    if .Bookmarks.Exists(field(ix))
       .Bookmarks(field(ix)).range.Text = transform(eval(field(ix)))
    endif
  endfor
endwith

>>>If I have a listbox of Word templates and the user selects one. There may be anywhere from 1 to 30 bookmarks. I know that I can use the Bookmarks() collection to step through each bookmark in the document. What is the best algrothim to see if a match is there with one of my field names?
