Page Position (Word 2002)

Topic

New Reply

Is there a way to retrieve the position of the insertion point on the page–in inches, points or twips from the top of the page? I am automating Word from another program and will be inserting an Excel Spreadsheet range to a bookmark. I have this accomplished, except that if the range is too long to fit on what left of the page, I need to split the range. Therefore, I am looking for a way to determine the vertical location (relative or exact) of the insertion point (or of a bookmark, for that matter). I would be grateful for any comments.

The Range and Selection objects have a property Information that can be used to retrieve all kinds of information about the range/selection. In particular, you can get the vertical position relative to the page:

Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)

and to the text boundary:

Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToTextBoundary)

Both return a result in points.
