Modifying the linkage of the header or footer. Word dims the main portion of the document, places the insertion point in the header or footer, and displays the Design tab of the ribbon.

Make sure you put a section break before and after the pages whose header or footer you want to suppress.If you want to suppress the existing header or footer in a particular section of your document, follow these steps: By default, headers and footers for any new sections are the same as the section just before it. (This is a critical point to keep in mind, so it bears repeating: Word ties headers and footers to sections and allows you to modify the header or footer on a section-by-section basis.) Thus, if you have eight sections in your document, each section can have its own header and footer. Word allows you to create headers and footers for each section of your document. While WordPerfect makes this very easy, the method used in Word is much more flexible (albeit nowhere near as easy).

Many people who come to Word from a WordPerfect environment are curious as to how you can suppress headers and footers in your document.
