How to deselect "Same as Previous" in footer

C

Cornelia

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I want to put different odd-page footers in different sections of a document. but when I click on "view headers/footers" all my odd-page (and even-page) footers say "same as previous" and there seems to be no way to change that setting. Even though I set up new document sections in the places where I want new footers, it doesn't work. I have searched the help menu but it was not helpful!

I have several documents like this, some of them are quite long, over 100 pages.

Can someone help!!? Thank you!

Make sure it's the WORD Help you are "Searching" :)

Apple OS 10.6 introduced a new piece of malevolence: if you use the System
(Finder) Help, the search will look only in the Apple Help. When you go
into the Help menu, you will see "Word Help" as the first item below the
search box: you have to click that to get into the Word help before the
search will return anything sensible.

You also have to check that the Help system is "online", because the Help
content is actually on the website. The bottom left of the Word help window
should show "Online Help". If it doesn't change it so it does, or you will
not get much help content.

The topic you are looking for is "Add or delete a header or footer" in the
Word help.

Cheers
