How can I have different text in the footer on every page of a Word document?

Is there an easy way to add different text in footer on every page of a word document?

Answer

I bumped into the same issue myself. Here's the Yahoo Answers post on the subject. The selected answer from that post recommends maintaining a separate section for each page:

Each header and footer is "linked" for each section. So if you make each page a separate "section" (i.e., section break instead of a page break), then you can unlink the footers and place a different footer for each section.

This is the only way I know that will allow the different footer for each page.

That's a terrible hassle in my opinion, so I decided to waive having different footers on each page. Sadly I'm not aware of any alternative neat solution in Microsoft Word. This is definitely a feature request: Microsoft - please add a checkbox for "Different Footer on Every Page".
