How can I get writer to display the column number and line number of the current input location? I searched the help file and found a page called "position in document" but nothing on the page tells you where this option can be found.
I don't offhand believe it's possible. In a general-purpose word processor like OOo Writer that supports multiple sizes of proportional type, "line" and "column" are essentially meaningless concepts. (They are, however, displayed when editing the source of HTML files or macros.)
If you are doing something like a standard-format movie script, using 12-point Courier, the rulers should tell you what you need to know.
If you are trying to use Writer to create plain-text files -- programs or the like -- don't; it's like trying to drive a Corvette off-road. Since you use Windows, you might want to look into <URL:http://www.emeditor.com/> or <URL:http://www.textpad.com/>. Both are inexpensive and offer free trials.
