I have tried the help page instructions:
insert - footers... but there is no box to choose position, type of 
numbering and no number appears in the footer box.
Please advise.
With thanks,

  InsertFootersDefault and then Insert Fields. Choose Page Number. The number 
1 will appear at the left end of the footer. Use normal formatting options - 
font, centre, bold, whatever - to format it. Of course you can also enter text 
before and/or after the number such as Page .

  If you double click immediately to the left of the page number a pane will 
open which lets you choose all sorts of different styles such as Roman numerals 
in upper or lower case and so on.

Just be aware that OO writer unlike MS word will not allow you to use 
the page number field in a formula.
