Terry,

I'm grateful, as ever, for the detailed answer and advice, but really it's
all way too complicated. I want my word processor to be as nearly invisible
as possible, and I certainly don't want to have to think about anything even
remotely resembling programming.

I think I'd prefer forgetting about headers and footers altogether in favour
of simply going through a finished document typing in the page numbers.
