Is it possible to automatically insert page numbers when you click File|New
to create a new Word document?

Open your template as a file (via FileOpen) and add page numbers to
it. Then you'll automatically get page numbering for documents created
from that template.

It is strongly recommended that you *not* add page numbers (or any other
header/footer) to Normal.dot, however.
