Good day Monks. I am trying to locate highlighted words in a ms-word document and the page numbers on which they reside. I am having trouble getting the page number. I am trying it like this: 
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
$filename = "c:\\work\\test.doc";
$word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit');
$doc = $word->Documents->Open($filename) or die "Can't open: $!\n";
for(my $i = 1; $i <= $doc->Words->Count; $i++) {
  if($doc->Words->Item($i)->HighlightColorIndex > 0)
  {
     $page = $doc->Words->Item($i)->Application->Selection            
+   ->Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber);     
     print "$page\n";
  }
}

but when I run it on a file with one word highlighted on each of three pages, it returns 1 for the page number three times. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

TIA...Steve
