How can you remove a footer from some pages
When you delete a header or footer Microsoft Word automatically deletes the
same header or footer throughout the entire document. To delete a header or footer for part of a document, you must first divide that part of the document into a separate section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) and then delete the header or footer in that section only. To remove the header and footer from a section of the document, do the following: On the View menu, click Header and Footer. If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) to move to the header or footer that you want to delete. Note Make sure that the Link to Previous button is not activated in the section or in the following section, or all of your headers and footers will be removed even if you separated the document into sections. In the header or footer area, select the text and graphics, and then press DELETE. To remove the header or footer from the first page only, or for odd or even pages, do the following: On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab. Under Headers and Footers, select Different odd and even or Different first page. Note To make more space available on the page, you may need to change the margins that include space for a header or footer. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. If the content of a header or footer is deleted, but there is still space available for the header or footer, click the Layout tab, and then adjust the From edge settings.

How can you remove a footer from some pages
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but when I got to View/Header and footers
and click on "show next" nothing happens. I stay on the first header or footer (I can click on switch between header and footer and it will move me back and forth between them on the first page) If I manually move down to the footer I want to remove and delete the text, it deletes it from all the footers (Link to Prev. button is not activated) "ArcticWolf" wrote: When you delete a header or footer Microsoft Word automatically deletes the same header or footer throughout the entire document.

How can you remove a footer from some pages
Unless you have inserted section breaks, your document contains only one
section and so only one header and footer. You can, however, have a footer on just the last page by inserting the following field construction: { IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } "Text you want in the last-page footer" } What you put between the quotes can be anything; you can paste in a table, graphics, whatever, but it's easiest to get the field working properly first and then paste in the desired content. Note that each pair of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be entered from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9, but you can use the Insert Page Number and Insert Number of Pages buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert the { PAGE } and { NUMPAGES } fields. -- Suzanne S.

How can you remove a footer from some pages
The instruction from Microsofts help page on Word 2003 states: To delete a
header or footer for part of a document, you must first divide that part of the document into a separate section. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you how to do that, it starts immediately into telling you to click on view/headers and footers, making one think it was instructing you on the path of how to do this. I finally figured out that I had to go to the page where I want to remove the footer and go to Insert/Break/Section Break to put the break there, THEN follow the instruction. So I found how to remove the content of the footer without removing ALL the footers, but I'm still left with a box that I can't diminish or delete. I have footers in page setup at 0 but it still shows up. What a pain Word is. If I had my druthers I'd do everything in Excel. I know it's not meant for documents, but it sure is easier to format!! grrrrrrr "Suzanne S.

How can you remove a footer from some pages
Yes, once a header or footer has been added to a document, it will
never go away, even if you delete all its content. But you certainly can "diminish" it -- in Page Setup Layout tab, set the Footer Margin to 0 for that section and it won't interfere with your text area..
