The foregoing steps work fine if you want to suppress a header or footer on a page other than the first page of a section. Now, if you preview your document or print it out, you can see there are headers or footers in each section except the one where you deleted them.
Make sure you put a section break before and after the pages whose header or footer you want to suppress.If you want to suppress the existing header or footer in a particular section of your document, follow these steps:
By default, headers and footers for any new sections are the same as the section just before it. (This is a critical point to keep in mind, so it bears repeating: Word ties headers and footers to sections and allows you to modify the header or footer on a section-by-section basis.) Thus, if you have eight sections in your document, each section can have its own header and footer. Word allows you to create headers and footers for each section of your document. While WordPerfect makes this very easy, the method used in Word is much more flexible (albeit nowhere near as easy). Many people who come to Word from a WordPerfect environment are curious as to how you can suppress headers and footers in your document.
