Is it possible to ignore case senstive in Word VBA?

Im searching for bookmarks but would like to set it to ignore case senstive.
I cant seem to find a way to do this.

Set the .Find.MatchCase property to False. For an example, look in the
VBA help topic on the MatchCase property.

Hi

This only seems to applicable to the Find property is this right? I cant
use it when searching for bookmarks, eg

For Each myBookmark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks

MatchCase = False
If myBookmark.Name = "test1" Then
do this
end if

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You can use the LCase or UCase method to change the name to lower or upper
case:

If LCase$(myBookmark.Name) = "test1" Then
