Column # or Ruler Position of Current Char or Line # ?

[arthurw]

Dear lovely, kind, righteous, gentle, brilliant, empathetic, sincere, truly helpful, prosperous readers,

Question 1:
Is there a way of finding out what the column number and or ruler position of a character is in a document?
In word each character has a column number attached to it which specifies its x-position (horizontal position) on a line .

Question 2:
Suppose I am writing a sentence to a word document. As I am writing it to the word document can I tell if I have reached the end of the line and now the text is being wrapped onto the second line?

Is there a way to tell what line number a particular character/word is in?

Thank you!
