Scribus treats this special '#' that you  enter as a variable, ie, no 
particular number, but dependent on what  page it is on. Every time you 
use '#' on a given page it will show the same number, whatever that is. 
It's also indexed to whatever numbering scheme(s) you might use.
If it were even more flexible, you might be able to put '#+2' to 
substitute the current page number plus 2.
