If you are writing a report or thesis, you may need a different footer on every page or a series of pages. This tip shows you how to create different footers within your document.

You probably already know you can easily change the first page footer, or create different odd and even page footers, by selecting check boxes.

These settings are found in the ribbon on the Header and Footer Design Tools tab. Click inside the footer to show this tab. But what if you want to have a different footer for every chapter of your book or section of a term paper? It is accomplished by creating a new section, then disconnecting the link between the footers. In Microsoft Word, by default, all footers in a document are connected.

That connection has to be broken so you can create multiple footers without overwriting the previous ones. Now you can create a new footer on this page. Repeat this process for each section of your document. This is the same method used to format page numbers using different styles for front matter, main body, and appendices in a document. This method works for both headers and footers. Comments Thanks for this info.

Microsoft word 2013 headers different for each page free. Word 2013: Headers, Footers, and Page Numbers

 

I am writing a book in Microsoft Word , and the book is divided into different months. To use an example, the book starts in November, from chapters 1 – 8. I would like in the header for each page in those chapters for there to be the word “November” in the header.

For chapters 9 onward, I need the header to say “December”. So when I type November into ONE header, it sets the header for every single page in the document to saying “November”. I know that this is how I make sure certain pages have different headers! But my problem is, Word will not allow me to click or unclick the “link to previous” button, so I have no choice but to let all the headers to be the same.

See the “Link to Previous” button? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

You have to start in Section 2’s header which requires that you’ve already inserted at least one section break; in your example, that would be at the end of chapter 8. Then, each time you want to change the header wording, you have to start a new section by inserting another section break, and then turn off Link to Previous in the new section.
