Jezebel:

The "Page" was shadowed and the page number was blank.

The solution, as suggested by Jay Freedman was to check "Background
repagination" in Tools/General. So I checked it and viola! Now the Status
Bar is fully functional.

Thanks.

The Page Number DOES NOT show on the Status Bar even though there are
multiple pages in my document. If the Status Bar is displayed then the
Page
Number should be displayed. Unfortunately this is not the case. Not
only
is the Page Number not dispayed, but the Line Number is not displayed.
What is wrong?
