Default Header and footer noncompatibility

I've been trying to combine several components of a word doc together, the
main sections of which the headers and footers are set to odd and even.
Despite using section breaks at the end of the early part of the doc - not in
odd/even H&F format - I can't seem to have one part in odd/even format w/o it
overriding the previous the non odd/even format. The sections are otherwise
formatted the same way, but I've hit a wall and no one else here seems to
have gotten any further with it. Any suggestions?
Thx!

Uncheck "Link to Previous" (or "Same as Previous") in each section
before you change anything in the headers and footers.

Although you can enable "Different first page" for specific sections,
"Different odd and even" works differently; it is either on or off for the
entire document.
