I am writing VB code that tracks the status of open pages. I want the script to identify the active page the user is working on and not just the active Spread.

I am stumped on how to write the code so I return the actual page number and not just the left page.

QUESTION: Does InDesign have a way of returning myPage.name and have myPage be set to the page that has focus (not just the spread?)

Set myPage = myInDesignApp.ActiveWindow.ActiveSpread.Pages.Item(1) only returns the value for the left page... I can't see an object property that resembles "activePage"
