Turning off page numbering in a new Section

How do I turn off the page numbering in a new Section 2, while keeping the previous page numbering in the old Section 1 ?

(I search this forum to find the trick to create a new Section using :
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage

but I can't access the header in my Section 2 with :

With Selection.Sections(1).Headers(1).PageNumbers
.NumberStyle = wdPageNumberStyleArabic
:
:
End With
)

Thanks !

You need to break the LinkToPrevious in your new section. Here's code I am using to do something similar (I am also clearing all text as well). Be sure to set the 'sec' variable to your newly created section to use this:

Code:

For i = 1 To sec.Headers.Count
' Unlink Header from previous
sec.Headers(i).LinkToPrevious = False
' Clear header text
sec.Headers(i).Range.Delete
Next i

For i = 1 To sec.Footers.Count
' Unlink Footer from Previous
sec.Footers(i).LinkToPrevious = False
' Clear footer text
sec.Footers(i).Range.Delete
Next I
