I have edited your title. Please see, "[Should questions include “tags” in their titles?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19190/)", where the consensus is "no, they should not". — John Saunders, Jan 05 '14 at 02:38

you can iterate through all

file.MainDocumentPart.RootElement.Descendants<BookmarkStart>()

like:

IDictionary<String, BookmarkStart> bookmarkMap = 
     new Dictionary<String, BookmarkStart>();

// get all
foreach (BookmarkStart bookmarkStart in file.MainDocumentPart.RootElement.Descendants<BookmarkStart>())
{
    bookmarkMap[bookmarkStart.Name] = bookmarkStart;
}

// get their text
foreach (BookmarkStart bookmarkStart in bookmarkMap.Values)
{
  Run bookmarkText = bookmarkStart.NextSibling<Run>();
  if (bookmarkText != null)
  {
      string bookmarkText = bookmarkText.GetFirstChild<Text>().Text;
  }
}

By using this solution we cant find bookmarks present in Header and footer. — MaheshMajeti, Jan 07 '14 at 13:18
