1. from the menu "Insert | Footer | Default" (this presumes you want page
number at the bottom of the page)
2. from the menu "Insert | Fields | Page Number" (after step 1 the cursor
will already be in the footer)
3. type a space, the word "of", and another space
4. from the menu "Insert | Fields | Page Count"

If you only wish a page number and don't care to display the total count of
pages then only step 1 and 2 are needed
If you wish to show total pages too then step 4 is required, step 3 can of
course be any text that's meaningful to you

Thank you, got it done.
