Intermittant Starting Issues

Intermittant Starting Issues
Hi Everyone,
My girl drives a 97 Escort, 2.0 engine with an auto trans and just over 100k miles.
Recently, she started having starting issues. She turns the key and nothing happens. Not even a click. I told her to jiggle the shifter into neutral, and back to part, then try again.
Now, I don't know whether this is coincidental, but it's been starting up after she does that.
Are there any known issues with starting in these models? I'm thinking the linkage may need to be adjusted, or if there is a neutral safety start switch, that may be it as well.
Thanks in advance to any and all who help me figure this out. I am truly appreciative to whomever wants to play the "why won't it start" game.
I do not believe this is a battery or starter problem, but I could be wrong.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Maitai
