Why does 2nd section footer keep picking up the text from 1st one?

I created a report with two sections and each section needs different
copyright footers. The footer keeps coming up with all one copyright instead
of two distinct sections. What am I doing wrong?

Unlink the footers: With the cursor in the second section footer, make
sure you click the Same as Previous button (in some versions of Word I
think this button is called Link to Previous) on the Header/Footer
toolbar, to disable that setting.

Note that if you enabled "Different first page" and Different odd and
even" (File>Page Setup>Layout tab) you will have three different
footers in each section. Each of these footers must be unlinked,
unless you want them to have the same contents as those of the
preceding section. (Headers are linked in a similar manner to headers
of the same type in the previous section, unless unlinked.)

Still not working ... when I unlinked everything the text was still the same
in all 12 pages. It should change at page 9. So frustrating!
