Every time I try to insert both page numbers and a footer in the same
document, one of them disappears. It seems to make no difference which I
insert first
 
You need to put the page number _in_ the footer (or header).

What steps are you performing? Which version of Word?
 
I'm guessing this is Word 2007 and you are using the Building Block
galleries? Try the following: Add the footer and then double-click the
footer area to activate it. Place the insertion point where you want the
page number. On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, click Page Number, and
then click Current Position.

An even better approach would be to insert not only the page number but the
entire footer content directly in the footer. See also
