= SUMMARY =

A question mark (?) character will appear where the line number should be if the cursor is on a line whose number is greater than 1000 and the document has not been paginated.

If the document is scrolled line-by-line, when the 999th line is reached, the following lines continue to display 999.

If the document is scrolled using the PGDN key, once the 1000th line is reached, a question mark (?) will take the place of the line number.

The highest line number Word can display, without repaginating, is 999.

The question mark or the number 999 will continue to appear only if the Options “paginate:” field is set to Manual and the document has not been repaginated. Word will insert page breaks before 1000 lines is reached if the Options “paginate:” field is set to Auto.
