Hello everyone,
Please bear with me as this is a lengthy post for a single
problem.
I'm using Word 2000 SR-1 on Windows 2000 Professional. I
have a document with footers and next page section
breaks. I have this one place where the footer for
Section 16 is the footer for it's own section and the
Section 17. The "Same as Previous" button is NOT turned
on, it IS a Next page Section Break, and nothing out of
the ordinary (First Page, Odd Page, etc.) is being used.
I have tried inserting a new Next page Section Break and
deleting the original one and also turning the "Same as
Previous" button on and then back off, but to no avail.
The real puzzler is that if I delete a few lines of text
in Section 16, then I do get a separate footer for Section
17. When I noticed this I thought maybe my bottom and
footer margins may be overlapping and causing the problem,
but the bottom margin = .35 and Footer margin = .30. It's
almost like the Section Break is straddling the two pages,
but everything prints on the correct pages.
Below I have included some transcript from March 20 of
this year in this newsgroup from someone else that seems
to have experienced this along with Suzanne Barnhill's two
replies and my comments to those.
Thank you,
Jeff
"... but my problem is with two pages in particular. They
each need a different right side footer (they each have a
left, center and right footer). They are both 'Footer
section 15' and I've already ungrouped them, but they are
still linked somehow. When I try and change the right
side of the footer on one page, it changes them on both
pages."

Headers and footers work like this:
1. Within any section of the document, you can have
different first page and/or different right and left page
headers and footers. Go to File > Page Setup > Layout.
Check what's shown in the Apply To list when you make a
change. ((When I am in the footer of Section 16 and click
the Page Setup button, it says "This Section", when I am
in the footer of Section 17, it says "Selected Sections". -
Jeff))
2. By default, the headers and footers for any section are
the same as for the previous section. When you select a
header or footer the Headers and Footers toolbar is
displayed. One of the buttons is 'Same as Previous' -- if
you clear this option, the headers and footers for the
section become independent of the previous section.
((This is what isn't working. - Jeff))

Moreover, you can have only a single First Page, Odd Page,
or Even Page header/footer in a given section. You say
that the footers in question "are both 'Footer section
15'"--which means that they are the same footer, as
Section 15 can have only one Odd Page Footer. In order to
make the footers different, you'll have to insert another
section break. ((I tried that and it didn't work and I
don't have any of the First Page, Odd Page, etc. in my
file. - Jeff))
