Jessie,
The line numbering feature works a bit like automatic list numbering in
that the line numbers cannot be reached directly with the keyboard,
hence the PC cursor can't get to them. The line numbers appear outside
the document and they only appear in print layout view.
JAWS has a keystroke, Insert + Delete, which gives the line number and
column. This doesn't depend on the information appearing on screen, so
you could turn the line numbering off if you want, and just use that
keystroke, ignoring the column information.

Subject: Microsoft Word , reading text outside document margins with
JAWS 9
Hi everyone,
I'm a law student and often have to cite court documents with both
page
and line numbers. The depositions I used for my last assignment were
Word
documents with line numbers running down the left of the page,
presumably
outside the margins. The PC cursor doesn't read them, so the only way I
could find to cite the documents properly was to get to the correct
passage
with the PC cursor and then read the line numbers with the JAWS cursor.
Is
there any way to have the PC cursor read that kind of thing along with
the
text so I don't have to switch back and forth? Is there a view or
toolbar in
Word that might do the trick? I use Word 2007, but the documents in
question
were typed in Word 2003, if that's relevant. Thanks for any feedback you
can
provide.
