            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();
            
            Page pageNumber = new Page();
            SimpleField simpleField = new SimpleField(pageNumber);

            Paragraph footerParagraph = new Paragraph();
            footerParagraph.add(simpleField);
            footerParagraph.setHorizontalTextAlignment(HorizontalAlignmentType.CENTER);

            Footer footer = new Footer();
