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 this to be a problem in the products listed above.
