my [Link to Previous] button is pale and unresponsive.
i'm working on a Word document and want to change 'sections' as chapters
change.

You don't mention which version you are using, this can change the necessary
instruction to solve problems. Usually the reason that the Link to Previous
is grey is that either you are in the first section of the document, or that
tha document only has one section.
The following article has some good tips on using the Header/Footer area and
what can be done within its area.

Also, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, sometimes you don't
need to unlink the H&Fs, see the previous article as well as the following.

You can go to the previous section and make sure it has headers or footers that you want to link with the current section. If not, add them by double-clicking in the header or fnf footer area and entering the desired content.
