continous breaks to change footers

[Guest]

I have been trying to set up a document that has a certain footer on the
first few pages and no footer on the last few pages. I put in the footer,
then insert a continous section break in the body of the text on the first
page that I want to change the footer so that I can break the link between
that footer and the previous one. However the footer on that page after the
break is still section 1 and therefore I cannot break the link. The footer
on the following page is section 2. What am I doing wrong?

It seems you have your break in the wrong place. Move the break to the
previous page!
Alternatively use a conditional field around your footer and lose the break
eg

{IF{Page} > 5 "Insert your footer here"}

Change 5 to the number of the relevant page.

DT:

With a Continuous break, you have two sections on one page. The header and
footer content on a given page are detemined by the first section on the
page, not the second. You may need to use a Next Page, Odd Page, or Even Page
break and be prepared to start your new header and footer on the page after
the break.

Thanks. That helped a lot.
