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.
