b) If your question is about 'inkscape-pages':
how do I create and/or get to the master page so I can insert the page numbering?
(quoting the README file): «Master page
The master page is used to display elements in all pages. To edit it, just navigate to it (Extensions -> Pages -> Go to -> Master page). Everything you insert here, will be visible on all pages. If you want to insert page numbers, create a new text area using the text tool in which you have to type the text "#page#". Of course you could also type anything next to the page text. Only the page text will be transformed according to each page, while everything else will be untouched.
For example, if you type "This is page #page#", on the first page this will appear as "This is page 1", on the second page this will appear as 'This is page 2" and so on.
If you want different master pages for left and right pages (odd and even pages), while editing the master page, select the objects that you want to appear only on left pages or only on right pages and then click Extensions -> Pages -> Master Page -> Display selected objects in...
While editing, if you want to see which objects appear on which pages, just use the filtering option (Extension -> Pages -> Master page -> Filter). » http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape-pages/forums/forum/1802502/topic/4585688

- The above looks promising. Thanks for your help. Initially after following the above it was not clear that in fact I was editing a master page. I expected to chose from a list of master pages like in Scribus.
Also to actually create multiple pages in a multi-page document one must hit <ctl><alt><shift><insert> and the select the number of pages to be added.
Jessylink was suggested by another listmate and I responded to him. But my question was about Inkscape-pages.
