In the menu, click Insert - Page number and choose the position and type

“Maybe your document was created and/or edited in Microsoft Word”
False assumption because I don’t have or use Microsoft word.

“In the menu, click Insert - Page number and choose the position and type”
Didn’t work!

Can you upload an ODF type sample file here?

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).

What is needed are:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the tool;
  2. Use the page number field in the footer (similarly to what I explained above, the field will appear in all the footers on all the pages having that style; however, having a field doesn’t mean that all the field instances will have the same appearance - they will reflect current page number every time);
  3. Do not use field’s offset to “change” page number (tdf#168405);
  4. Use correct page break properties (which you will learn from item 1 above).

What didn’t work?
Did it enter anything?
Did you get a number on just one page?
The same number on all pages, or another page?
Best to upload a sample document showing the issue but without any personal information

If it is based on Appeal.odt from How to get rid of the "itAlso"? - #17 by iavswn then there is a frame covering the footer so you would not see the page number.

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

Doing exactly as you said.

I already answered this. 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.”

That’s not what I said.

I never said this document is that document.

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