Which spread am I viewing?

[itsgca]

I have a long document in Publisher.  When I scroll through the document then where exactly in the interface does it show which is the spread I am viewing at any given time?

You mean Pages panel?

You can also see the current spread or page in the navigation section at the left of the status bar at the bottom of the document window. This is available even if the Pages panel has been hidden. It also shows statistics like the number of words, paragraphs, etc., chosen via a popup menu.

Maybe my question was not clear.  The bottom left shows the active page (the one with the grey border in the pages panel).  Let's say I have a 24 page document.    Page 2 is the active page and page 4 is the selected page (with the blue border in the pages panel).   If I scroll down in the main window to say the 21st page, does it show anywhere that my main window is displaying the 21st page?

I am pretty sure you will need to have "Scroll With View" checked in the Pages pane's hamburger menu checked and you will also have to click with the mouse on the page in "main window" in order to have the grey outline applied to that page in the page's panel. Until you click on that page in the "main window" you are simply looking at the pages, the Pages panel will show you a range of pages but not the one page that you have in the "main window".

Fortunately, clicking on a page is not required to make the Pages Panel's thumbnails correspond to the spread currently shown in the main window. Of course, the option "Scroll with view" must be activated.

The 'main' (document) window can show any number of pages depending on how far you zoom out, or just a part of one page if you zoom in far enough, so there is no direct way for the app to tell you what page or even how many pages that window is showing. IOW, what the document window shows is completely independent of the current active (grey) page or spread & any selected (blue) ones.
