Shortcut to XY Coordinates?

[shade-cabin-hammock]

Hi,

Is there any way to get the XY coordinates of where your mouse is at any one time? I recall there was a wee box that was in real time. I seem to have hidden it.

BETTER for my purposes - could I select a WORD and get the XY coordinates of it, or any part of it at all, easily?

Many thanks!

In Ribbon layout go to View and click on Page Size/Position.

Hello,

This is also always shown in the bottom left area of the UI, if the window is wide enough to see the full toolbar:

Hi, lev & Daniel,

lev!
Ah! How does that tool ever display the data? I mean, I can click on a word and click that there in the toolbar, but where do I get the result?

Daniel!
That's the Page Navigation Toolbar, right? In my zeal to customize EVERYTHING I seem to have found a way to drag the XY out of that toolbar. What is the formal name, so I can drag it back in there from Toolbar Customization?

1) Capture the X/Y coordinates of a (Text-) object ?
??

2) Restore the "Page Measurement" indication (in the "Document Options" toolbar) ?
- you can reset the "Document Options" toolbar, or
- you can drag the "Page Measurement" icon from the list with "Commands" into the "Document Options" toolbar

Note: to discover the name of an icon/item in whatever toolbar, go into "Customize toolbars...", click on the desired icon in that toolbar, right-click and select Properties. In the "Command Properties" dialog-box, you will see the "Image" and "Title"/"Short Title" properties.

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

Many thanks for the Above!

@SCH - I believe the above will let you get that information back to your toolbars!

Kind regards,

Hi Willy & Stefan,

Ah! Greetings to you both! Yep! I dragged that wee icon to the Navigation bar but, this is all I have?

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,

Please try to reset the "Document Options" toolbar:

This is the one that displays the coordinates of the mouse position.

Or as Willy said in a previous post - you can locate the command's specific name:

And add it anywhere you want:
