That was helpful -- I didn't actually find what I needed, but I did 
eventually find

Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)


which returns Ln -- the line number. I checked the Object Browser and there 
doesn't seem to be an At equivalent in the Information properties or else 
I'm just missing it, which is possible. I wouldn't have thought 
FirstCharacterLineNumber would return the current line number -- don't 
understand the FirstCharacter component of that one.
