Have you tried to put page numbers in your Writer documents yet?

Did you find it?

If not then I’d bet that you’d like to know where OpenOffice has placed them so let’s take a look at that today.

First, we usually want our page numbers in either a header or footer… so you can insert those through the Insert menu.

Now, with your cursor in the header or footer go back to the Insert menu, Fields sub-menu.

Choose Page Number. (For future reference you can see that there’s more than just the page number available.)

Immediately Writer will insert the page number into the header/footer and you’re back to business as usual.
