Re: How to know the current viewed page and line in writer

 Ptyl ,

the secret is the vieuwcursor object who can tel you where you are in 
the document , page,or X-Y position etc...

For basic code :

    oDoc =  ThisComponent
    oText = oDoc.getText()
    oCursor = oDoc.CurrentController.getViewCursor()
    oCursor.gotoRange(oCursor.getEnd(), false)
