Actually, it's not necessary to unlink headers (footers) unless you
want to alter the *contents* of a header (footer). If only numbering
options (such as numbering style or restart options) should change, it
is sufficient to set the Page Number Format, which is in effect for a
single section.

If you want different numbering on different pages then you will
have to
insert a section break before you change the numbering. Once you
have your
section break then click View | Headers and Footers and on the
footer toolbar
click Same as Previous so that you can now start new numbering in
that area.
