Default Can I make headers & footers appear on only some pages?

Note also that in recent versions the button is labeled "Link to Previous."

Make sure that in Section 2 (?) Headers/Footers where page 6 commences the
Same As Previous option in DESELECTED. Then go to the previous
headers/footers and delete them. Does that work for you?

In brief -- my desires are simple: I have a 30-page document, on which I
wish to have a pretty simple header and footer, i.e. the same on every
page,
with the exception of (obviously) changing page numbers. The one
stipulation
is, I want the headers and footers to begin on page 6.

Well, regarding this thread to which I am replying -- I knew about
section
breaks, etc. However -- even though I have "Section 2" beginning at the
proper place (page 6), the header and footer I have inserted STILL SHOW
on
*previous* pages within "Section 1." This, even after going to Page
Setup
within the Header/Footer window and selecting "Section start: New page."
I
also selected "Apply to: This section" . . . but the header and footer
still
show in Section 1.

Any ideas? All constructive comments, advice and instructions are
accepted
with gratitude. If you have none, a good joke might keep me from going
insane ... lol.

It can be done. Try using different sections. (There may be other ways
but
that's what I've done)

Using Word 2003 (11.8202.8202) SP3...

I'd like to be able to define how headers and footers appear on my
documents, and haven't been able to work out exactly how to do this.
The
main requirement is to have Word not show them on specific pages (the
first and last, typically) and any advice the group can give would be
much appreciated.

TIA
