LibreOffice – How to Add Automatic Page Numbers

libreofficeodt

How can I add an automatic page number to all pages in a LibreOffice .odt file?

I've already tried the following:

  • Insert > Header > (name of page style)
  • and Insert > Footer > (name of page style)

to add a header or footer to all pages with the current page style.

However if I do this only the first page will have a page number. The second for example doesn't have any numeration. The number seems to be set manually per page.

Any ideas? I want to make something like auto page number and every page gets a number automatically.
