May I suggest you create a temporary document and experiment with the
headers until you've got the hang of them. Headers and footers can be set
separately for each section of a document, if you need that. To create new
sections you need to insert Section Breaks (not page breaks) -- and the Same
as Previous button will then be enabled for all sections other than the
first.
But you don't need to create separate headers for each section, just to get
different page numbers or section titles showing. Word can do this
automatically. Read help on fields, in particular on StyleRef fields, which
are designed to display the text of the last preceding paragraph of a given
style (eg if every section begins with a Level 2 paragraph, you can have
that paragraph appear automatically into the header). Similarly you can get
section numbers to appear automatically in the header. If your header uses
the same format throughout -- differing only in the page number and section
name or number, then you should be able to do it with a single header for
the entire document.

I am creating a tariff document for my company. The header must reflect
the section and page numbers. Every page will have a different number. I
have Word 2000, and I have tried to turn off the same as previous tool. But
this tool was not turned on, so I don't know what else I can do. I have
inserted page breaks between each page, and formatted the page set up for
new page, different page one, this section only, etc. Nothing is working.
I was able to have a distinct header on page one and page two, but page
three will not let me number the page without changing the first page's
header. Must have this document created. Original doc has over 600 pages
that need a header and numbering.
