Question

In Design-How do I add page numbers to a document (a series of labels)

I have created a data merge file which has a series of labels. I would like to print a page number at the bottom of each page (not on each label). How could I do this?

    On the Master page (or pages, if your document has facing pages)
    Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number

    On the Master page, this will show as a letter corresponding to the Master Page name. On each master-based document page, it will show the page number.

    Perhaps I am missing something? Is this in the "pre-merged" label--or in the merged document? Above it looks like you may have created a text box?

    If your merge fields are on the document page, then you can do this pre-merge on the master page. Once the merge is complete, it  can also be done in the merged file. 
    And yes, you will need to create a text box on the page before inserting the page number.
