I don't actually understand what BO said to do. In order to put page
numbers in a footer (or header), go to View | Headers & Footers (or
double-click in a header or footer), put your cursor in the header or
footer paragraph where you want the page number to be, and click the
page number icon (the rightmost one) on the Headers & Footers toolbar.
Then if you want it centered, type a tab before it (it automatically
opened up with a centered tab stop in the middle of the line).
The "Same as Previous" setting means that you'll get the same headers
& footers throughout your document. You unselect that when you want,
say, each chapter in your book to have the chapter title as its
header. You can change your header as many times as you have Sections
in your document.
Typically you'll use "Different First Page" but mark the First Page of
each section to be Same as Previous, since it won't have a visible
header at all, just the page number in the footer. Then you might put
the book title in your left-page header, marked Same as Previous in
every chapter, and the chapter title in the right-page header, and
then you'd unselect Same as Previous and put the chapter title in each
right-page header individually (or use style markers, if they don't
need to be shortened to fit).
Important: always adjust your "Same as Previous" links from the front
of the document to the back. If you change that setting in a later
chapter, weird things can happen and you have to go back to the
beginning to fix them anyway.
