Default Different Header within Same Section

The "change" is happening up stream. I created Cover Page (Sec 1), Contents
(Sec 2), Welcome (Sec 3) which is 2 pages.

Sec 2 is not linked to Sec 1. Sec 3 is not linked to Sec 2.

When I try to change page 2 of Sec 3, and select different first page. The
header on the Cover page (Sec 1) changes to match Sec 3.

Could the issue be that the footers are still linked, even though they are
blank?

Make sure you have "This section" selected when you check the box. You
should be able to enable this for a given section. "Different odd and even,"
OTOH, is all or nothing for the entire document.

I suspect your problem, though, is that "Different first page" is giving you
a separate First Page Header, and what you are changing is the Header. Since
the remaining sections have only the Header (and you haven't said that you
have unlinked them from the section in question), then any changes you make
in the primary Header (as opposed to the First Page Header) will be
reflected in the Headers of downstream sections.

I am trying to change the appearance of the header on page 2 of a
particular
section. The section header is NOT linked to the previous section. Yet,
when I change page 2 and check "different first page." all the headers in
the
document change.

How can I change page 2 header of a particular section and keep all others
intact?
