2007, Same as Previous Not acting like it did in 2003

[Janet A. Thompson]

Often, I think I'm fixing a mirrow margin doc that I want to have a different
layout than in a preceding odd or even section only to find I'm not. The
section breaks were put in by Next Page Section break. Starting at the end
of the document, I clicked on Same as Previous on both the footer and the
header thinking I can now format the section differently than the above
section then find the tabs were moved to match the bottom section.

Is there a tutorial about this in 2007.

If the Footer style is set to update automatically, then any changes you
make in tab settings in one footer will be propagated to all footers.

Did you remember to unlink both the odd and even footer of the section?

Maybe I misunderstood your original post, but I got the impression that you
are also using "Different odd and even" (in the Page Setup dialog box) so
that you can have different odd and even headers (and footers)?
