Ah, if you're using Insert | Page Numbers in a complex document, then
prepare for problems. Much better in such cases to use Insert Page Number on
the Header and Footer toolbar.

Yes, those were the first things I checked, too.

I got numbers to appear by deleting them all, then inserting them from the
header/footer toolbar instead of Insert, Page Number function, but I had
to
center them - no "outside" option.
