For the benefit of @iavswn I’ve knocked up a screen recording of the process to add page numbers in the footnote. The first steps in the video turn on display of boundaries and formatting marks to make it easier to see where you are on the page. Then the steps to insert the page number follow.
It can be downloaded from this Dropbox link. No guarantees as to whether it will work 
as this is my first venture into video creation.

@sophi @guilhem could you add .avi and .webm in the uploadable types ?
if directly embedded/viewable in messages, even better.
merci
I did exactly as you instructed for putting the page number in the footer so either you gave me bad instructions or the program is broken.
Did exactly as you instructed and from a completely blank document so either you gave me bad instructions or the program is broken.
The program is not broken. And the instructions was correct. The problem is your inexperience and lack of knowledge.
.
Here is YOUR sample file. I just switched ON the Header (the Footer was switched on, and then I inserted the Page number Field into the Footer and the Header of the first page.
.
Then I filled the document with some dummy text (Lorem Ipsum). Some new pages were created automatically by the text overflow.
The page number (the increased value) is appeared on the Footer and the Header of the other pages too.
