I would modify the default style with correct margins, footers, and 
styles I need. I suspect you have a different left and right margin, 
once this is set it will be the same for all pages. The page numbers 
will be correct and you will not need to modify them for printing. When 
you print you should be able print using your printer defaults for 
one-sided printing.

Under Format>>Page using the Page tab you can set your margins as 
needed. For example in the US the left margin is often 1.5 inches with 
all the other margins set to 1 inch for a thesis.

You do not need to use right page styles.
