I've got a big document and have just learnt about inserting section breaks.

I inserted a section break between main body of text and reference list.

I put the word 'References' in the footer for section 2 and everything
looked fine but that footer also appears at the bottom of pages in section 1
now; if I delete it from section 1 it also disappears from the reference
list (section 2) where I want it!

I thought the whole point of sections was to allow separate headers /
footers etc.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Morris,
Uncheck "same as previous" on the header and footer toolbar before you
insert your footer for the second section.
