You must turn off the Link to Previous if you want a different footer in that section. If that action 'deletes' everything in the second footer then you just recreate it - is this different in your version of Word vs your earlier Word versions? You've ignored the information I put above about copying the footer contents BEFORE turning off the Link to Previous and then pasting it back in so you get what you get to some extent.



At its core, a page number is a field. You can insert that field in the footer by following these steps:
1. Type the word 'page' where you want the page number to appear (ie Section 2's footer)
2. Select this word and press Ctrl-F9 to make it a field and then press F9 to show the field result (ie the page number)

If the page number has started at 1 on the first page of that section, then that is all you need to do. If it has not:
3. While your cursor is somewhere in Section 2 (or its footer) go to Insert > Page Number > Format Page Numbers... to open the Page Number Format dialog
4. Choose the option to Start at 1 and click OK. If the number format is not in arabic numerals you may also want to set that is the same dialog.

Sorry if I sound frustrated. I think what is happening is that some of you are trying to explain this from memory and that's why you are not seeing what I am seeing on the screen. Please do not take offense to the sometimes sarcastic way I am responding!

  1. We are not seeing what you are seeing. We are here and you are there looking at your computer.
  2. You can link to previous and turn that off. Every version of Word since Word 97 can do that. You cannot do it in the first section because there is no previous.

The toolbar does not give me the option to toggle Link To Previous on and off. When I click on Link To Previous, I am prompted to choose whether I want to "delete this header/footer and connect to the header/footer in the previous section." If I choose Yes, ALL my page numbers disappear, including the ones from the 7th page to the end of the book. If I click No, nothing at all happens.

If this is what is happening, you are in a section after the first one and you are currently not linked to previous. Changes you make in this header/footer do not change the one in an earlier section.



Remember each section has three headers and three footers, each independent. You may not see them all. Each of these six items can have its own setting for link to previous.

I gave you directions on how to insert the SectionPages field in a previous post.

Quote:
1. Insert a section break between pages 6 & 7
2. On page seven, go to the header/footer where you want the page number to go.
3. Do NOT just insert a page number.
4. Instead, got to the menu: Insert > Quick Parts > Field
5. Insert SectionPages -- that's a page number based on the current section, not the document as a whole.
Based on your next post, you did it correctly. Was that not the case? If not, then what DID you do to insert page numbers?

Please keep in mind that that we only know what you tell us about your document.

I'm going to go back to the previous posts and start all over. It's insane that I can get so close and then the whole operation falls apart at the very last step.


Again, thanks for all the suggestions.
