Line Number in Word Using VBA 1

[brian0167]

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to determine the line number/page number of the cursor in a Word document.

REASON:
I am trying to create a template which will be used for document review. I have create a push button and a text box in the template. The document to be reviewed is inserted into a document based on this template. I then want to be able to have users read through a document and whenever they want to add a comment hit the push button. This will activate the text box where they type in their comment. The comment and user name then get inserted into a separate document. (This all works so far) But I can't determine the line number that corresponds to where they are making the comment. HELP??

thanks
brian

Brian, why aren't you using track changes?

brian0167,

My concern is the same as Dreamboat's above, why not use Tracked Changes? My reason for saying this is that things will change when you edit the document by inserting or deleting any information. Also, this option will allow you to track who made what changes at a glance.

However, I will offer the following if it will help. Go to File, Page Setup, Layout tab and click on the Line numbers button, then check the Add Line numbering option and click on OK.

Hope this helps.
