In Word, what you're used to thinking about as "page formatting" is replaced
by "section formatting". That is, all the pages between two section breaks
will have the same header, footer, page margins, orientation, page numbering
style...

To make each page have a different format, you have to insert section breaks
so that each page is a separate section. Then you can change whatever
formatting you need to change on each page (that is, for each section).

Be aware of the "Same As Previous" setting on headers and footers -- when a
header (for instance) in a section has "Same As Previous" turned on, that
header will be the same as the corresponding header in the previous section.
The footers are independently settable, too. To have different
headers/footers on each page, you have to explicitly turn off "Same As
Previous" in each section after the first.

I am trying to update a form from Wordperfect 12 into Word 2003. I am
basically taking this peice from scratch and for the most part I can
do all the formatting exact same. Except for the formatting
(headers/footers most importantly). I need to find out if there is a
way to format each page individually within one document. This
document is multiple pages, but has different formatting on each. I
cannot link each page because this is a document that will be widely
used throughout the company and they cannot link to my documents. Is
there a solution?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can lend.

PS...in the end this will be a protected document with form fields.
