Hi Phil.

Yes, press ALT+DEL.  If you have your PC cursor on, and you are in 
Microsoft Word, it will give your cursor location in inches from the left 
and from the top of the current page.  If your JAWS Cursor or the Invisible 
cursor is on, or if you are in a program other than Microsoft Word, it will 
give you the pixel coordinates of the cursor.  It will also tell you which 
cursor is turned on.  This is the closest that you come to a line and 
column indicator.  The problem is that fonts are scalable in Windows, so it 
is a much tougher job to figure out what line and column you are on, unless 
the software program that you are using provides the information on the 
status line.  Microsoft Word pretends to, but it lies through its teeth 
about the column indication because it only counts keystrokes from the 
beginning of the line, so it would count a space bar press and a tab key 
press as equal.  It is a worthless measurement.

It was easier in the DOS days when you knew that each screen had 25 lines 
and 80 columns and most word processors gave you 6 lines per inch.  That 
made giving you a line and column command very easy.
