I haven't used AntConc in a while, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't return page numbers.

I seriously doubt that an 80's program will return page numbers. What's the name of the Fortran program?

There are ready-made stop word lists. For example:

It's also relatively easy to create a list of all unique words with
NLTK and other tools. But insisting on page numbers doesn't make sense.
