Once our document is ready, click at the start of the page that you want in a different footer. Then, move your cursor to the upper left part of your window and click the Layout tab. After that, click the Breaks drop-down menu. Finally, select the Next Page option in the selection.

Enter your content in the footer. Click on the Options button at the top of the header, go to Footer Format, and make sure that the footer applies to only this section. Now go to the footer of next page and UN-check the box for "Link to previous." Now your footer will be only on that one page.

Click or tap the page at the beginning of a section. Select Layout > Breaks > Next Page. Double-click the header or footer on the first page of the new section. Click Link to Previous to turn it off and unlink the header or footer from the previous section.

Within one section you can have a different footer for the first page of that section and for the odd and even pages of that section. But you can create a new section directly after page 1 and place a completely different footer on page 2.

Remove page numbersGo to Insert > Page Number, and then choose Remove Page Numbers.If the Remove Page Numbers button isn't available or if some page numbers are still there, double-click in the header or footer, select the page number, and press Delete.
