Hi

With this code I can get the vertical position of word number 40:
----
MsgBox
PointsToCentimeters(ActiveDocument.Words(40).Infor mation(wdVerticalPosition*
RelativeToPage))
----

but I want the vertical position where the textcursor are placed in
the text - how?


Can anybody help me with this problems? (thanks).

Hi pmm,

The code:
MsgBox PointsToCentimeters(Selection.Information(wdVertic alPositionRelativeToPage))
will return the vertical position of the first character in a selection or, if no character is selected, the insertion point.

Cheers
