USING THE STATUS BAR
 
Overview: <View Status Bar command>
 
From left to right, the status bar contains the
following information:
 
Page, Section, Line, and Column
  These indicators tell you where the cursor is
  located in the active document.
 
  Page
   Shows the page number the cursor is in.
 
  Section
   Displays the current section the cursor is in,
   if more than one section exists in the
   document.
 
  Line
   Displays the cursor line number counting from
   the last page break. Line numbers are only
   displayed if the Show Line Numbers check box
   is turned on in the View Preferences dialog
   box.
 
  Column
   Displays the current horizontal position of
   the cursor.
 
Scrap  { }
  Word displays the contents of the scrap between
  the { } brackets. If the scrap contents are
  longer than the space available, Word shows only
  the first and last three characters separated by
  two periods.

  If Word is running out of memory, the word SAVE
  will appear in the status bar. You should save
  open documents, glossaries, and style sheets.
