Use the following sub. It works for me.

Sub UpdateBookmark(BookmarkToUpdate As String, TextToUse As String)
Dim BMRange As Range
Set BMRange = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(BookmarkToUpdate).Range
BMRange.Text = TextToUse
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add BookmarkToUpdate, BMRange
End Sub

Then use the syntax below in your main program:

UpdateBookmark "NameOfYourBookmark1", tbBookmark1.Text
UpdateBookmark "NameOfYourBookmark2", tbBookmark2.Text
