The only way to get automatic page numbering on every new document seems
indeed to create a template this way:
(Note: Translation from french. Might not be 100% exact in english.)
Open a new document
F11
Standard
4th icon
Right click Standard
Modify
Enable footer
OK
In footer:
Insert
Field
Page number
Add /, or "of". or whatever
Field
Total pages
Save the document as a template:
File
Templates
Save as "My template", whatever
-------------------------
To use the template:
File
New
Templates and documents
Select your template
-------------------------
To edit the template:
File
Templates
Edit
Choose template
Open
F11
4th icon
Standard
Modify
-------------------------
You then get automatic page numbering on every new document you open with
this template. Of course, I have no idea if this is the most standard
procedure, but it does seem to provide expected results.
I can't help but wonder how this is accomplished in Word...
