Default Footer disappearing

I have a document that only the "First Page" footer appears in any section.
I can insert another Section break and the footer appears in the First page
of that section, but I can't even get to the next footer. I can even click
the "Show Next" button on the Header/Footer toolbar and it jumps to where the
next footer is supposed to be, but the cursor stays in First Page Footer. The
"From Edge" is set to 1" but I have tried changing it from 0" - 1" with no
change. Any ideas or do I just chalk it up to a corrupt document?

Default Footer disappearing

A Section can have a number of different footers:

First Page
Primary
Odd and Even

You obiously have the footer set up as a First Page footer when what you
want is the Primary Footer.

Copy what you have in your footer now, then click on the Page Setup on the
Headers and Footers toolbar (It looks like an open book), then go to the
Page Layout tab and uncheck the Different First Page Box. Then paste the
information back into the Primary Footer pane.

Hope this helps.
