Page Numbering

[huffman]

I see the "Footer" to insert, it does nothing when clicked on. Footer is what I would have used Microsoft Word.
How to I get page numbers to be insert automatically?

Once the footer is present, click on it to place the cursor there and then select the menu Insert -> Fields -> Page Number. If instead of the page number you see the words Page Numbers, remove the selection from the menu item View -> Field Names. If you want the page number to be centered or on the right, place the cursor before the page number and use the tab key to move it.

How to I get page numbers to be insert automatically?

It's very easy - just search the forum with page number to get many posts. Alternatively see the Tutorial on page numbers. Another way is to read the Writer Guide where it is explained in great detail.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.
