Could someone suggest a text editor /word processor that can insert
page numbers?
This is from the docs for VDE, at
http://short.stop.home.att.net/vde.htm#vdeprog
PRINT (^KP) - ^KP Prints the current file; "Wait" displays in the header,
since you can't do anything else until VDE is finished printing. (The use
of a print spooling utility or a printer with a large memory buffer speeds
printing considerably.) You can cancel printing at any time by pressing
[Esc], or pause by pressing any other key (press a key again to resume).
The page format is determined by several factors: the current page
length (^OP) sets the number of lines of text per page. The top and left
margins can be varied with options below. Other options produce either a
centered page number at the bottom of the page, or a header consisting of a
page number in the corner and/or a string of text; the positioning of these
is controlled by settings in the printer driver. Various printers handle
paper differently, but can typically put at least 60 lines of text on a
standard 11-inch page.
You will be prompted for options, at which point you may enter one
or more of the following, in any order:
B prints only the currently marked BLOCK. Pagination is
disabled.
(FILENAME) REDIRECTS the printer data stream to a disk file instead.
A ADDRESSES an envelope; see ENVELOPES.
'...' appends the quoted string of printer commands to your usual
printer initialization. (See notes below)
Tnn sets a TOP MARGIN skip of nn lines. [The default margins
can
Lnn sets a LEFT MARGIN skip of nn columns. be set with VINST.]
D DOUBLESPACES the printout.
*nn prints the entire job out nn TIMES (nn=1...255).
=nn RENUMBERS the printout so first page is numbered nn.
N NUMBERS pages sequentially, at top right.
C numbers pages at bottom CENTER instead.
"..." uses the quoted string as a page HEADER (see details below).
F prints FACING pages (header/number reversed on even pages).
S SUPPRESSES the header/page number on the first page of
output.
P PAUSES for your keystroke before each page prints (sheet
feed).
@nn begins printing AT page nn of the document.
#nn prints only (up to) a TOTAL of nn pages.
O,E prints only ODD or EVEN pages (print one, then run the paper
back through and print the other, for double-sided printing).
J EJECTS the page after printing even if it otherwise wouldn't
(when printing a block, or in zoom mode)
Inn expands hard tabs (into spaces) to nn column INTERVAL.
^ FILTERS control codes (like ^X) so they print out as text
"^X".
