Answer 1

You have to create sections. For example, on the bottom of page one, you might:
click Insert
cl Break
cl Next page

for a different footer, cl View, Header/Footer
you should be in the header, with the Header/Footer toolbar visible
On the Header/Footer Toolbar, click the "switch" button
Now you should be in the footer.
If you have more than one section, it will say Footer and the section number.

Type your footer in section 1
click the "show next" button on the HF toolbar
you are in Section 2
click the "same as previous" button to turn it off
delete the footer which is the same as Section 1
type the footer for Section 2
close the HF toolbar.

Answer 2

If the stuff you're putting in the footers happens to be footnotes, Word has a dandy automatic footnote mechanism that doesn't even use the footer. It will automatically maintain the numbering sequence no matter what you do to the footnotes. It will also do its darnedest to keep the footnotes on the page (and out of the footer, too), as well as give them a format different from the normal text.

To put in a Word footnote:

1. Position the cursor where you want the footnote reference to go.
2. Click on the Insert->Reference->Footnote menu item.
3. Click Insert.
4. Type the footnote.

The footnotes are best viewed in Print Layout view, at least until you get used to how they work.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

All the footers are going to be the same in one document no matter what you do.

A solution is, if the project is a manageable amount of pages, you can make each page it's own document so all the footers can be different.

Hope this helps!
