Default Headers and Footers

When you are in the header pane, the Header and Footer toolbar is displayed.
Where you are typing 1 for the page number, instead of typing, instead use
the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. This will
insert a { PAGE } field that will update automatically.
