Page number in footer

[iavswn]

@EarnestAl

If you want to put the page number in the frame at the bottom of the page then click in the frame and then click Insert > Field > Page number

I want it to be in the footer where its suppose to be.

No it is not “all that should be needed”. By definition, a footer is a style formatting object, that is repeated on all pages having that style. When you put any data there, it is repeated on all pages - so putting a static text in footer will give you that static text on all pages having that style (and hence, that footer).

I ask questions and I get pointless answers comments. Goodbye!

“Misinterpretation” means you did an astonishingly poor job describing yourself - both what you did (possibly you used an insert page number wizard - but that became possible to guess only after you posted a screenshot) and what your see… and people tried to guess the rest out of your scarce data, and ask for missing bits. The only one attacking here is yourself; and you also ignored any common sense, flooding the thread with multiple disconnected short comments, each not answering anything - as if you used WhatsApp or something, ignoring rules… I can only second @EarnestAl: goodbye, and continue fighting as much as you like: the sooner you understand that it’s more useful to try to improve your question, instead of trying to defend that you are golden, the better for your own good (meaning, only then you may possibly get an answer useful for you - unless your only goal wasn’t getting an answer, but creating a thread where you could attack others who didn’t understand you).

" and you also ignored any common sense"
Common sense says I should do as I am instructed,
which is in fact what I did.

I said, “Page 3 in the footer on page 3 is 1 not 3 and when I change it too 3 in footer page 1 in the footer gets changed too page 3.”

…Because you have not used a real page number label, but you used only a simple text. That will be repeated in all of pages that us same Page Style. The page numbers in the LO are special labels (FIELDS). They will increase automatically page by page.

Maybe your document was created and/or edited in Microsoft Word. The Word can not handle the Page sytyles, therefore every page will have individual Page Style in the LibreOffice, and maybe they will have a restarted page numbering.

Can you upload an ODF type sample file here?

As I already stated, I don’t have or use Microsoft word.

I deleted all the page numbers manually and I did exactly as I was instructed too do,
which is: insert, page number, page wizard click “ok”
When I did exactly that I ended up with no page numbers on pages 3-5, 12, and 14 and the pages with page numbers were off to the right and not centered as it shows in the page wizard “alignment:”.

Sorry, but I don’t have a phd in computer science or business computing so I have no idea what you are saying.

The office suites was developed for typewriting assistants in the old DOS era.
Upload a sample document, PLEASE.
