I am writing a rather long book and want to have certain details
appear on every page at the bottom:

Title - Author - Chapter - Page Number

However, when I try to do this as per the MS recommended method, each
time I change the footer in one chapter all the others change too. The
'section breaks' I created initially do not appear to be influencing
matters.

What could I be doing wrong? Is there a better way of achieving what I
want?

Have you explored the "Link to previous" on the Header/Footer toolbar?

It's a toggle that makes the current section use the Header/Footer from the
previous section - it sounds as though that may be happening in your case.
Click it to break the link and then define the new footer...

....that may be the solution.
