I haven't used OpenOffice writer, but I believe it is a WYSIWYG program.  In 
this case, I believe the feedback should be more specific, telling you in 
measurement units (inches, centimeters,or millimeters) exactly where you are 
on the page. As fonts change, row and column numbers won't give the user the 
specific knowledge needed to properly format the document--there will always 
be calculations needed to sort out where the current position is on the 
page.  Does OO writer provide this information somewhere already, such as on 
a status bar?
