What might help is the "Working with Master Documents" chapter in
the Writer Guide. It can be downloaded from
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/.
You may need to also get the "Working with Styles" chapter of the
Writer Guide. It describes how to use styles for numbering pages.
