A knowledgeable friend just corrected my misimpression about this. it's
been too long since I read the documentation referring to these screen
elements, or seen them, and I'd forgotten that this area at the bottom of a
Word or OE screen is more than a line of informative words and numbers. My
friend reminds me that, similar to the Task Bar on the Desktop, they, too,
contain control buttons that a mouse user could click on to do certain tasks
in the program. So I take back what I said. I've heard these referred to
as "lines" many times by experienced computer users, blind and sighted
alike, and assumed that this is what they were called.
Sorry about that.
