Hi
If you think it is enough to have a running counter without connection to
a TOC, references or anything similar then you can simply define a new
counter and use that.
I have attached an ipe-file which does this.
In the preamble I have
    \newcounter{Page}
    \newcommand{\newPage}{%
        \addtocounter{Page}{1}%
        \arabic{Page}}

Somewhere on each new page I put
    \newPage
which increments the counter and displays it.

Latex issue:
    For some reason I'm not allowed to use the page counter. It displays
    fine on the first page (\thepage), but on next it shows zero.
    My idea would be to manually increment it on each page, and then maybe
    it would be possible to create a TOC. (possibly by hitting C-l twice.)
    Does anybody know what happens to the page counter?
