Default How to insert date of revision in footer

Footers in Word are specific only to the section, not to the page; so unless
you put each page in a separate section, there's no way to do this. Given
that this sort of information has zero value to your ordinary readers, why
not issue the revision list separately?

I neet to poduce a controlled document with a List of Effective Pages -
each
page shall have the rumber of the revision and the date when that revision
was made.
Date of revision and revision should be in the footer
The problem which I do not know how to solve is that within one Section
there
will several be DIFFERENT dates and revision numbers.
For instance in Section 4

Page No 6 will be Rev No 2 dated 15.11. 2005
Page No 7 will be Rev No 3 dated 31.12.2005

As far sa I understand revision numbers and dates could be read from some
table or database and using VBA used in Word ( complicated ) but the
basic
thing remains unclear to me How to have different content of the cerytain
field in footer within the same document Section.
