If you inserted the Title and Author fields and they are inserted into blue
controls, called Content Controls, then these are bound Property fields
which update the Document Properties. IOW, you are using a single data field
that will update to the current data value throughout the document and even
in the File Properties. So any changes to an Author to Title field will be
made throughout, even if you are using Section Breaks and unlinking the
sections. You'd need to remove the content controls and add the data
directly or see if Suzanne's suggestions meet your needs.

I am writing a rather long book and want to have certain details
appear on every page at the bottom:
Title - Author - Chapter - Page Number
However, when I try to do this as per the MS recommended method, each
time I change the footer in one chapter all the others change too. The
'section breaks' I created initially do not appear to be influencing
matters.
What could I be doing wrong? Is there a better way of achieving what I
want?
TIA
