Word – Adding a Bookmark Table in a Document

bookmarksmicrosoft-word-2010

I've got many places I'd like to Bookmark in Word and I'd like to create a Table for all these bookmarks, like a Table Of Contents, but for Bookmarks. For instance :

On page 5 in my Word Document :

[MyPlace 1]

Some text about MyPlace 1

On page 8 in my Word Document :

[MyPlace 2]

Some text about MyPlace 2. This is some other text about MyPlace 2

I've added Bookmarks around each one of my [MyPlace #]. Now I want to create a Table that will show the bookmarks like so :

[MyPlace 1]…………………………………5

[Myplace 2]…………………………………8

And I want this table to be updated (such as an update with F9), whenever I change the name of the Bookmark, or its page.

I don't want the text of the content of the bookmark to be a part of said bookmark.

I've tryed using { TOC \b "something" }. But I don't know what to put into "something" to get all the bookmarks in one table
