Remarks
The CurrentColumn property has the Long type.
A selection is a single point (the insertion point) or a contiguous range of text.

This is the point where the user stopped dragging the mouse.
The status bar also shows the location of the insertion point.
Example

Dim ColNum
ColNum = ActiveDocument.Selection.CurrentColumn
