"The necessity of inserting a footer in order to insert page numbers etc. is not
always seen."

One does not need to insert a footer in order to insert page numbers — one can 
also insert a header, or even insert them directly on the page for a single 
page 
document, which is why the existing method is right. 

The only thing needed is to make it easier to do. I suggest that the best way 
to 
do this is to modify the default template to include a footer with a centred 
page 
number, and a blank header. If "show text bounderies" is on by default (I 
believe it is), then new users won't find it hard to figure out where page 
numbers have to go, and they can just click inside the header or footer area.

An insert page number dialogue is also another way to solve the problem. 
However, 
what should happen if headers or footers already exist? Clearly they should not 
be replaced. 

If that route is followed, insert fields, page number should not call the 
insert 
page number dialogue, but should just insert the page number code where the 
cursor is, as it does now. There should be a separate menu item for "Insert 
Page 
Number."
