    point.NextBookmark();  
    point.Insert("BOOKMARK 2: ");  
    point.ClearBookmark();  
}  

Remarks

If there are no more bookmarks, the edit point is not moved.

PreviousBookmark moves the EditPoint object to the location of the first bookmark preceding the location of the active end of the EditPoint. The EditPoint is collapsed at the new location.
