If are selecting the bookmark before updating it's range, do not do that.
All you need do is refer to the .Range of the bookmark.

It may be quicker to use { DOCVARIABLE varname } fields instead of bookmarks
and store the data in the variables and then use

ActiveDocument.Range.Fields.Update

just one time.
