You are not alone in this respect. Page numbers are going to be
implemented via the use of fields in order to calculate what page you are
on, and how many pages exist. Right now, AbiWord's field implementation is
in it's extreme alpha stages. Work is going on though right now in order
to get the fields implementation nailed down so that features like page
numbering can be added.
What this means in terms of time frame is hard to say. It will not be in
AbiWord 0.7.9, nor will it linger way out past AbiWord 1.0. Page numbers
will show up someplace in between those two milestones.
I hope that helps!
