I have a fairly long Word 2002 document and want to have a different footer
for each section. So far I find that each time I set up a new footer in a
subsequent section the same footer now shows up in the previous section
which until then had had its own footer. I have started each section with a
Section Break (Continuous) and ended it with a page break. I had originally
used Section Break (Next Page) but when I saw my footer pop up on the
preceding page I figured I should use the combination of Page Break and
Continuous section Break.

Here is an example of the problem. After setting up all the sections I made
a header for section 1; let's say the text was "111" for illustration. I
used the same footer for section 2 ("111"). At section 3 I made a footer
reading "333". In the process I tried to toggle "Same as Previous" off and
was asked if I wanted to delete my footer and attach this to the privious
section. I answered no; after all, I want a new footer here, and NOT the
previous one. I get the new "333" footer for sure at this spot. But now
when I check the prior section, its footer is now . . ."333!" Am I doing
something wrong? Is there a special setting that everykbody else
knows--except me? Going to Word Help seemed to show that I was doing
everything right. But, of course, coming out all wrong. Any suggestions?
(Sadly, yelling at the computer does not seem to have eny effect.)
