Hi Jean-Pierre! I did not expect such a quick response!
I want the pagenumber to remain in the footer. With your solution, it now appears at the bottom of the main body margin, rather than the footer margin itself. I actually do remember toying a bit with setuptexttexts also, and couldn't find a way to make it work in this context. I'm still trying things on my end but I'll take any further help I can get. :-) Thank you so much!
