[Tex/LaTex] no page numbers in lyx

lyxpage-numbering

How can I tell LyX to put page numbers in the rendered PDF?

I looked in all the menus, and haven't find the correct option.

The closest matches are: Document -> Settings -> Page Layout, or Document -> Settings -> Numbering, but none of them has page numbering.

It depend of the document class that you have selected (by default is article) in Document > Configuration. Make a new simple document (only with some words) and make the PDF: the number of is showed by default centered at the footer. If you change the document class to book the number of page will be in the top right in a beamer class is not showed ... and so on.

I do not have your document class but I changed this in your file:

\textclass article_acl_singlecolumn

by 

\textclass article

to have the standard class article, and it show the number of page without problem.

Moreover, this can be modified by header and footer settings in Page layout or wih LateX code in the preamble. To understand how this work, read about the fancyhdr LaTeX package.

In any case, you can insert the number of page also in any part of the body document inserting a ERT box (Ctrl+L) with the code \thepage.
