I wasted a lot of time searching for how to unlink footers in Word 2021 after a section break. No matter what I do or try the "Header & Footer Tools | Design" never appears anywhere.


How do I unlink footers so I can place page numbers only starting after a section break? It used to be so simple but for some reason it seems hidden now.


Once I know I will create a macro to avoid losing my mind.


Thank you.
