On the Layout tab, under the section Headers and Footers, select the Different first page check box. So as long as each page is in its own section you can have as many footers as you want. Just remember to create a new section break at the bottom of every page. From the Page Setup dialog box, click the Layout tab. In the header or footer area, you should see a label on the first page that says First Page Header. Note: Different first page can be applied to the first page of any section in your document, not just the very first page. You can create a brand new footer here that will be separate from the footer on page 1. But if you look at the footer for page 2 it will initially look like the one you had. This is because by default Link to Previous is selected on the Header/Footer tab. Just deselect that option and you can create your new footer. Go to Insert > Header or Footer > Edit Header or Edit Footer. On page 2 if you look at the status bar you’ll see that you’re now in Section 2. From there select a Section Break for the Next Page. To do that, at the bottom of your text for page 1 go to the Page Layout tab and click on the Breaks drop-down arrow. Within one section you can have a different footer for the first page of that section and for the odd and even pages of that section. But you can create a new section directly after page 1 and place a completely different footer on page 2. The following illustration shows the footer of. Elements like headers and footers reside within sections, and from section to section they can be changed.
