You have a document that consists of tables. Column 1 defines the competency (the text in column 1 is the same as the names you gave the bookmarks). Column 3 defines a range of text that is counted. You have bookmarked it using the same name as you typed in column 1.

The code creates a table with the competency listed in column 1 and the word count in column 2. Therefore it is perfectly clear what range corresponds to a count so I am not going to waste my time writing code that uses bookmarks when you don't need the bookmarks in the first place.
