Word 2003, XP: We have a document with a fairly simple set of headers and
footers but it has a problem. Here's how the document is set up:

- Headers and footers are NOT different for the first page of each section or
for left and right pages.

- The front matter has section breaks for such parts as the table of contents.
We turned off "same as previous" for these headers and footers.

- After the front matter all the later sections have "same as previous" going
back to section 1 (which is right after the front matter).

The problem is, after some typical work on the document, usually in later
sections, some of the headers or footers in the front section have the "same
as previous" status (which we had turned off), and this deletes whatever we
entered in the header or footer. Can someone suggest what the dependency
could be, or what would change the setting we used?

The Same as Previous setting should only be enabled for Sections n where n
is the Section number of the first section after the front matter.

Also, note (which may or may not be relevant in this case) that whenever you
insert a new section break, "Same as previous" is ON by default.

I know my description had a lot of detail, but I may have left something
unclear. We want "same as previous" OFF in the front matter. We TURN IT OFF,
and it comes back ON by itself. Both the responses sound like my meaning was
reversed. Sorry for unclear wording.

Each section can have up to three different headers (and three different
footers): a first page, an odd page, and an even page; this is the case if
you select "Different first page" and "Different odd and even" in Page
Setup. Whenever a section contains more than one header (footer), each type
must be unlinked separately.

We are not using different first page or different odd and even. Just one
header and footer per section.
