This is probably a simple question, but I've tried everything to get a reference to the current (active) page or a spread (without having an item selected). (I've even done a search in this forum for "current page" and "page" with -no- results for either. I can't believe there are no threads with the word "page" in them.) How do I get a reference to the current page without an object on it being selected? I want to draw guidelines on whichever page may currently be active. I've tried (in proper syntax, of course; these examples show how I'm trying to reference the page and may not exactly be worded correctly): get current page of active document get active page of active document get active/current page of active spread of active window I can get : page 1 of active spread of active window pages of active spread of active window My next idea is to get the pages of the current spread then ask the user to choose a specific page from the list of those pages, but that doesn't sound very nice.
