Bud,
There's no magic way of doing--except possibly hitting
page down and then doing it. I should think that
would be a little faster than if you were scrolling to
the bottom of each page.
I read the book and fix page numbers and the line
spaces as I go along, as well as fixing other things,
so the amount of time I take doesn't bother me. When
I finish validating a book I do a final spell check
and then, usually, unless the book is humongous, a
final page-number check by using page down--which I
hadn't noticed on the keyboard until someone here
mentioned it. Invariably I find that I've either
missed a page number or used the number twice (because
I've been so involved in the story that I forgot).

An alternative for you would be to submit but with a
comment that you did check to be sure all the pages
were present but you didn't add any line spaces before
the number. If the validator chooses to read the book
he/she will probably do that. If not , it's possible
that some numbers will add themselves to the end of
the last line or will be deleted, but as long as the
page break is there and the text continues unbroken
it's not the end of the world.
The time you take to put it in, though, is indeed
appreciated by the readers and validator.
