In a multipage Word 2008 .docx, I know how to have a different footer
for the first and subsequent pages, but how can I have a different (or
blank) footer for the last page only?

In other words,

p. 1: Footer 1
p. 2: Footer 2
p. 3: Footer 2
p. 4: Footer 3 [or blank footer]

Thank you,

Charles

You need to create a Continuous Section Break at the end of page 3. Then set
the Section Header/Footer for that section (on page 4) to remove the Link to
Previous check. Remove or replace any content in that H/F.

This makes great sense, but how do I remove the "Same as Previous" link of the header/footer in the new section?

The existing help implies that creating a new section allows one to edit footers in each section, but mine seem to be linked no matter what I do.

Thank you--I had seen this before--possibly from you--but had forgotten
it.

Screenshots or pictures would be very helpful. The description does little to help me when working with my version of Word for Mac. 2008 12.2.6.

I wouldn't get your hopes up that anyone who was participating in this
thread 4.5 years ago is still around to see your request.

Sections have been in MS Word for decades, so your 2008 version has
them, too. Just insert a section break and follow the instructions
in the old thread for changing the footer.
