Default How can you remove a footer from some pages

When you delete a header or footer Microsoft Word automatically deletes the
same header or footer throughout the entire document. To delete a header or
footer for part of a document, you must first divide that part of the
document into a separate section (section: A portion of a document in which
you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you
want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or
headers and footers.) and then delete the header or footer in that section
only.

To remove the header and footer from a section of the document, do the
following:

On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer
toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out
commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) to move to the
header or footer that you want to delete.
Note Make sure that the Link to Previous button is not activated in the
section or in the following section, or all of your headers and footers will
be removed even if you separated the document into sections.

In the header or footer area, select the text and graphics, and then press
DELETE.
To remove the header or footer from the first page only, or for odd or even
pages, do the following:

On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab.
Under Headers and Footers, select Different odd and even or Different first
page.
Note To make more space available on the page, you may need to change the
margins that include space for a header or footer. On the File menu, click
Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. If the content of a header or
footer is deleted, but there is still space available for the header or
footer, click the Layout tab, and then adjust the From edge settings.
