What VBA code can give screen coordinates of left,top of a page of an MS word document?

What code to write for Word Macro to get the coordinates of left, top corner of a page of a word document?

The Left and Top properties of the Page object are always zero, so I cannot use them.

I need screen coordinates of the left, top corner of a page in a word document.

How to get that?

This doesn't work for the page, but it'll give you the coordinates of the top and left of the active window. Is that of any help? (Or does it get you any closer?)

Public Sub WindowPosition()

  Dim leftCoord As Long
  Dim topCoord As Long
  Dim w As Long
  Dim h As Long

  ActiveWindow.GetPoint leftCoord, topCoord, w, h, ActiveDocument

  Debug.Print "Position:" & leftCoord & ":" & topCoord

End Sub

NB: Looks like working with pages is out of the question with the Word object model.
