Hello Craig, VO-F3 should tell you what page you’re on. If you set the zoom to 200% VO-F4-F4 will give you a pretty close approximation to where the insertion point is on the page. I’m a bit confused about what you mean by Column number. If you have two or three columns across the page, you can see exactly what they look like by going to the Formatter. You can set hotspots in the Formatter on information of interest to you such as X and Y coordinates or column width.
