Enter the starting number in the options: useful when the document is one chapter of a larger set. The {page} / {total} template shows the position and the total number of pages.
No: the text is added on top of the content. If the document already has numbers in the same spot, the two overlap; choose another position (corner, center) or hide the old one with the editor.
