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? |

You can use the VBA Selection.Information method
MsgBox "The Selection is " & Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelative ToPage)/72 & " inch from the left edge of the page." MsgBox "The Selection is " & Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeTo Page)/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.
