Hi,

As I believe, this feature is not yet available in OpenOffice.
There is a bug report here: <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/ show_bug.cgi?id=18004> But it has been a while since there was any activity there... anyone else know anything about this?

MISSING IMPORTANT CURSOR POSITION FEATURE IN OpenOffice 2.1 WRITER (Win XP and presumably Linux Ubuntu also).

1. Open the two attached screen shot .jpg files in Windows XP preferably side by side in 'tile' view if possible.

2. Compare the bottom 'bar' of Example1CursorPositionOpenOfficeWriter2.1
  with
  Example2CursorPositionWord97

3. Note that Example1 (OO) does NOT have full cursor position.

4. Note that Microsoft Word 97 and all later versions of WORD does have full cursor position. The example looks like the following;

 Page 4 Set 1   4/148   At 4.7cm Ln 6   Col 2

5. The latter vital feature is missing in OO 2.1 Writer or have I missed some tool or configuration?

6. The above is obviously OO 2.1 for Windows XP but I'm migrating to Ubuntu Linux 6.10 soon with OO 2.1 Linux (Both 32 bit versions.)

7. As a writer of novels the exact cursor position is VITAL when I come to paginate manuscripts for home printing on A4 paper.

8. If this feature is not in OO 2.1 (Win XP and Linux 32 bit) COULD IT PLEASE BE INCORPORATED IN NEXT VERSIONS PLEASE?
