Dieter,

Believe me, I tried all the obvious commands, like Insert > Page Number, but I
always ended up with the same number on all pages including the First page, or
the same number on all pages coming after 2.

I've followed Alex's suggestion(s). With that, I simply couldn't find the steps
to which he referred. Possibly, that's because he and you are using 6.2.3,
whereas I'm using 6.1.5 (I didn't anticipate getting involved in LO's
Feedback). However, using his steps as a guide, I've managed to find the
crucial settings and have found that Alex's basically do work.

To illustrate the successful method I eventually found, I've written out the
sequence below, in my reply to Alex. I'm assuming that you don't have to repeat
these configuring steps for each new document, unless you want the document
style to be changed in some way. Otherwise, this would be a 'right old fag' to
have to do each time.
