Problem with header/footer in word 2003

[associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I have a document
done in microsoft word 2003.

What happens is that i have lots of section breaks in this document and some
of the pages are in landscape orientation. what i want is to be able to have
different contents of footer for different sections. So what really
frustrates me is that i notice that some of the footers in section 6 actually
depends on the footer in section 5. For example, in section 5, pages are
landscape-oriented hence the footer is a lot wider. Then, in section 6, the
pages are set portrait-oriented. The first page is fine in terms of the width
of the footer. It doesn't come off the page. Then, i kept on scrolling down
to the following page in section 6, the footer of this page has come off the
page. On top of that, if i change the contents of it in section 6, those
footer in the section 5 got affected too. I wonder if you could help me on
this. It really drives me crazy.

Thank you in advance

Hi =?Utf-8?B?YXNzb2NpYXRlcw==?=,

Click in Section 6. Open the Header/Footer and click in the header. On the
Header and Footer toolbar look for the button "Same as Previous"; it's probably
"activated". Click it once to turn it off. Now you can change the Section 6
header to be different from that of Section 5. Do the same for the Footer.

Repeat these steps for every section where the header/footer needs to be
different.
