I have a Word doc that has copy on pg. 1 and 2. At the end of the copy
on
page 2, a Section break/Page Break has been inserted that creates a
blank p.
3, which I want to get rid of. When I put the cursor on the section
break
and delete it, the extra page disappears, but so does the footer on p.1
and
the header on p.2. Page 1 has a different header than p.2 and is not
affected when the section break is deleted. I cannot figure out why
the
aforementioned footer and header disappear when the section break is
deleted.

The behaviour you describe is normal for Word. The last pilcrow of a
section stores document settings "under water" for that section (the
last one of the document likewise for the entire doc, in case there is
no section break). When you remove the section break #1, the settings
of the next section break (#2) dictate the behaviour of the previous
section (now merged with the previous section #2). The separate
header/footer on page 1 is because you have ticked the box "Different
first page" in Page/Set-up [Layout].
