By default, a document does not have any page numbers printed on it. You can add them anywhere you want in the document - typically this would be in the Page Header or Page Footer sections.
Auto-text codes related to pagination, such as Page Number and Total Page, only apply when the document is viewed or printed out in PDF. For more information on auto text codes, see Adding auto text codes to documents.

You can add the total number of pages in the document. From the Insert menu, select Auto Text, and then select Total Pages. The text field is inserted at the top left corner of the selected section, but you can reposition it.
