Default Set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements?

Hi! I read the mvps article but I can't find anything about "alignment tabs"
that sort themselves out when going from portrait to lanscape.
My work around (I have a doc that goes back and forth between portrait and
lanscape several times) was to
- set up the first section's tabs for portrait (as portrait tabs are all
visible on landscape pages but not vice versa)
- make subsequent sections all linked to previous
- then for each new section that is not the same page orientation as
previous, unlink
- then set the lanscape centre tab and go to each landscape section and hit
F4; then do same for the right tab

Yes, there is a new "alignment tab" in Word 2007 (described in my article on
tabs at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm).

I have found that it only shimmies if one has not unlinked the
header/footer
from the previous one. AFAIR, the W2007 header/footer is set up to
handle
this automatically with relative to margin tab alignment.

One way to do this is with a table (three columns) set to 100% width. But
you will find that this is very processor-intensive and may make your
headers "shimmy" constantly as Word continually recalculates the width.

How do I set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements so
that
if I introduce a landscape section in a portrait document it still
works?
