If they're not linked, then you should be able to change the content of the
footer in Section 1 without affecting the footer in Section 2.

You must unlink the Section 2 footer from the Section 1 footer before you

Yes, but how is the question. Since, as stated above, the first page
footer
for section2 already does *not* have the "same as previous" tab (although
the
header does...), and when I click on LinktoPreviousSection button it asks
me
if I want to delete the current header and footer, and connect to the
previous section (which I don't want to do).
