Thanks for the help, but I still can't manage to get it to work. I read
through a bunch of the manual, and couldn't find much help there:
found how
to do headers and footers, but I just want numbers.
??? The use of headers and/or footers IS HOW one does page numbering. I
don't understand why you don't want to use headers or footers, because
this would do exactly what you're after.
Please write back to [email protected] and explain your situation a
bit more, and why you seem to think that you don't want headers and
footers, but you do want page numbers.
1, 2, 3... I assume I
don't need to enter each number on each page... I don't know. I'd
certainly appreciate more help. Thanks.

You are going to need to use two page styles. I would recommend
First Page and Default. (You will have to use the Styles and
Formatting window for these. Use F11 to open this window.)
If you want your name to appear in a header or footer on the
first page, Insert > Footer > First Page. Then enter your name.
For your name to appear on the second page and following,
Insert > Footer > Default. Then enter your name and page number where
you want them to be.
As a writer, you will be well served to download the Writer Guide:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/. The two
chapters on styles in this guide should also help. If you are not
acquainted with styles at all, the chapter on styles in the Gettting
Started Guide should be a good beginning point. (It is on the same
web page.)
