Need help inserting page numbers on text documents

I have read the documentation provided regarding inserting page numbers onto a document. I have consistently failed to be able to insert actual page numbers on my first page and then subsequent pages. The LibreOffice help documentation provided is lengthy and consist of many steps to simply insert page numbers.

I type documents daily and need to be able to easily insert page number (i.e. 1, 2. 3, 4, etc.) into the footer of my documents. I find it cumbersome to have to manually place the page numbers for each page individually. Can you help me to figure this out?
