Cursor position (Word)
in [Page Layout]
|
Prev: In table, add column to the right, but then can't size it
Next: TOC Formating - TOC Styles aren't actually changing the font
From: APF on 23 Feb 2010 18:53 How can I display the measurement of the cursor's position in inches from the left margin/left edge of the page and the number of lines down from the top margin/edge of page in Word?
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 23 Feb 2010 20:35 You can use the VBA Selection.Information method MsgBox "The Selection is " & Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)/72 & " inch from the left edge of the page." MsgBox "The Selection is " & Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)/72 & "inch from the top of the page." The division by 72 is to convert the result from points to inches. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

You could also use the PointsToInches() function so you don't have to remember the number 72. :-) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
