Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. The Aspose.Words.Layout namespace provides classes that allow to access information such as on what page and where on a page particular document elements are positioned, when the document is formatted into pages.

We suggest you please use LayoutCollector.GetEntity method to get an opaque position of the LayoutEnumerator which corresponds to the specified node. You can use returned value as an argument to Current given the document being enumerated and the document of the node are the same.

Please use following code example to get the position of Shape node.

Dim doc As New Document(MyDir + "in.docx")
Dim layoutCollector As New LayoutCollector(doc)
Dim layoutEnumerator As New LayoutEnumerator(doc)
Dim collection = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, True)
For Each shape As Shape In collection
    Dim renderObject = layoutCollector.GetEntity(shape)
    layoutEnumerator.Current = renderObject
    Dim location As RectangleF = layoutEnumerator.Rectangle
    Console.WriteLine(location)

Please also try EnumerateLayoutElements code example. Please get the code of “EnumerateLayoutElements” in Aspose.Words for .NET examples repository at GitHub. Hope this helps you.
