    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.
