If you're looking for the character/range position in the document, this might help. If you're looking for the X,Y position on the screen, that's a different problem.
Italophile's solutions may work better, as mine would of course change if you changed the document, moving things around. But this stores the current position of your text as the Range.Start attribute.
What exactly are you trying to do with this position once you store it? Just curious as I have never needed to know the position of something in a document. I have needed to know positions when building a UI, or dealing with images, etc. Understanding more of what your bigger goal is may help us help you get there.
Code:
Sub position()
' Find characters 1150 and store position in a variable.
Dim docRange As Range
Set docRange = ActiveDocument.Range
Dim str_text As String
str_text = "1150"
Dim position As Long
Dim str_message As String
With docRange.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = str_text
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
docRange.Find.Execute
' Store range
position = docRange.Start
' Define message for msgBox
str_message = (str_text & " is at position: " & position & ".")
Call MsgBox(prompt:=str_message, Buttons:=vbOKOnly)
End Sub
