In response to the first post: (Jim, I think):
The Help documents say:
Quote:
You can easily insert the page number of the next page in a footer by
using a field.
The page number is only displayed if the following page exists.
1.
Choose *Insert - Footer* and select the page style that you want
to add the footer to.
2.
Place the cursor in the footer and choose *Insert - Fields - Other*.
3.
In the *Fields* dialog, click the *Document* tab.
4.
Click 'Page' in the *Type* list and 'Next page' in the *Select* list.
5.
Click a numbering style in the *Format *list.
If you select 'Text' in the *Format*, only the text that you enter
in the *Value* box is displayed in the field.
6.
Click *Insert* to insert the field with the page number.
End of quote.
To start at a number other than 1:
Insert : Fields : Other : Page: Offset (bottom right) : Type the number
you want as an expression of its offset from the actual page. That is,
if you are on page 1 and want page 234, type 233. If you are on page
234 and want page 1, type -233.
Don't ask me why that is not with the direct Page Number process.
As for centering the footer, select it like any other text and click the
centre-align tab in the toolbar.

I dunno, the Help file seems pretty straightforward on the topic.
Select the index tab in the Help window and type Page Numbers.

All I am trying to do is create a document with page numbers. Why is
this so difficult? I have been trying for at least an hour and I
still have no clue. Why is there not something on the Format menu
that easily lets you number the pages of your document. Please help!
How do I number the pages of my document? (centered at the bottom).
Thanks, Jim
