WD97: Status Bar Lists Incorrect Line Number in Table (197022)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

This article was previously published under Q197022

SYMPTOMS

If the insertion point is in a table cell that spans a page break, the "Ln" (line number) value may be incorrect on the status bar. For example, the status bar may display "Ln 60" even though you are on line 7 of page 2.

CAUSE

Word may not recalculate the line number from the top of the page when a cell spans a page break. Instead, Word continues counting the lines from the page where the table cell started.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.
