I've recently migrated to Office 2007 & am still getting up to speed. One
Word 2003 feature I used a lot was the cursor position (in pixels or inches).
It appeared at the bottom. I used it to ensure facing pages in a book
covered identical space.

Does anyone know how to turn this on in Word 2007?

You should find what you're looking for - and more - if you right-click the
Status Bar. Select the items you want to have displayed.

Right-click the status bar at the bottom of the window and choose whatever items
you want to display, including the cursor position.

You can customize the status bar display by right clicking in the status
bar.

The following macro may give better results:

Sub CursorPosit()
Dim x As Single
Dim pStr As String
x = Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)
pStr = "Cursor position: Horizontal(Points: " & Format(x, "##0.00") & _
" Picas: " & Format((x / 12), "##0.00") & _
" Inches: " & Format((x / 72), "##0.00") & ")"
x = Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)
pStr = pStr & " Veritcal(Points: " & Format(x, "##0.00") & _
" Picas: " & Format((x / 12), "##0.00") & _
" Inches: " & Format((x / 72), "##0.00") & ")"
StatusBar = pStr
End Sub
