In newest version can page numbers be automatically added as I proceed with document?

I’ve found that each page number has to added manually-can this be avoided and be done automatically?

First create a header or footer: FormatPage... and go to Header or Footer tab; click on Header on or Footer on box. Click OK. This will set aside an area in the page for the header/footer.

This can also be done in the page styles if you prefer.

Then click in the newly created header/footer. Type and format whatever you want to appear there and insert a placeholder for the current page number with InsertFieldsPage number.
