For others who may try the Open Office Word Processor, I found an 
easy solution to the page numbering issue.
 From my experience, the best approach for a newby is to purchase a 
book on the subject.  Forums are useful, but books are more likely to 
include all data a newby needs.  I went to Amazon.com the searched 
for Open Office books.  I also read some reviews and an on-line book 
was suggested, 
see

It gave the answer.  Go to Search>fields.  I find a header (a small 
rectangular area at the top of each page) is a handy place to put 
this data.  Go to search>header.  I used the default header.  After 
some experimenting. I discovered I could also add the document name, 
date  created, date modified, etc.  Instead of being <1% as easy as 
Microsoft Word, it is now over 95% as easy.

Now that the page numbering issue is fixed, I tried a USB flash 
drive. It was not recognized.  Surprising, since flash drives have 
been available for years and Ubuntu was upgraded not too long ago.  I 
read some forums, and should be able to figure it out.  However, 
these experiences give me a new appreciation for Microsoft products.
