I would suggest you do what guha mentions. It is preferable to use the functions offered within the application to do the dirty worked, it will simplify your code and the functions will probably be optimized for the applications.

Anyway if you still want to know what the page number is use:

Either
Selection.Information (wdActiveEndPageNumber)
or
Selection.Information (wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber)

This was found on a quick google. You may want to do your own search because MS had some problems with these and they have suggestions for word 2000

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
