Determine row number of insertion point in VB macr (Word XP)

[langert]

I'd appreciate some help with a macro to locate empty pages (those containing only an empty paragraph and/or a page break) in Word output generated by AuthorIT. Various logical schemes require me to know the line number of the insertion point as I spin through the document. I can determine the first character of a selection (wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) but I cannot find a way to select one "line" at a time or to set a range equal to a single line. This is probably available information, since Word displays both the current column and the line number at the bottom of the screen...but I can't find them in VB. It would help if someone can point me to the appropriate property for the line number. Thanks.

You can use

Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)

to determine the line number of the insertion point.

Right....I mentioned that in my original post. But do you know of a way to grab the line number that Word echoes at the bottom of the page when you're working in Print Layout view? (I'm referring to the "Ln xx Col yy" displayed at the bottom of the screen.) Or do these refer _only_ to the onscreen display without direct correlation to the print layout?

Sorry, don't understand.

That's because I'm a fool. I was geting confused between the Information arguments for row number and line number. I've got it now. Thank you for your trouble.
