No.


Numbers has 'Pages' only when you are printing or preparing to print.


Page breaks in Tables are determined automatically and are determined by the fit of full rows and full columns in the print area specified for the document.


You can control where the breaks occur by rescaling the document for printing, or by adjusting row heights and column widths to place the breaks in appropriate places. The adjustment needs to place the last row and last column on each page just inside the bottom and right boundaries of the page's print area. Not all that difficult on the first 'page', but it can be frustrating as you get onto pages further from 'home'.


Each Sheet of a Numbers document starts on a new page when printed, so if you can lay out your document over several sheets, each containing a table that will fit onto one page when printed, you'll get the pagination with ease.
