Change footer for last page only?

  • Follow


In a multipage Word 2008 .docx, I know how to have a different footer 
for the first and subsequent pages, but how can I have a different (or 
blank) footer for the last page only?

In other words,

p. 1: Footer 1
p. 2: Footer 2
p. 3: Footer 2
p. 4: Footer 3 [or blank footer]

Thank you,

Charles

You need to create a Continuous Section Break at the end of page 3. Then set
the Section Header/Footer for that section (on page 4) to remove the Link to
Previous check. Remove or replace any content in that H/F.

This makes great sense, but how do I remove the &quot;Same as Previous&quot; link of the header/footer in the new section? <br><br>The existing help implies that creating a new section allows one to edit footers in each section, but mine seem to be linked no matter what I do. <br><br>Ken <br><br>> You need to create a Continuous Section Break at the end of page 3.

Thank you--I had seen this before--possibly from you--but had forgotten 
it.
