See how to insert multiple Header and Footer into a single word file: I was always wanting this that how to insert multiple header and footer into a single file so that I have to only edit or make a single file instead of making multiple file for a single project only due to the header and footer problem.

For example if you are working on a project that is having various chapter like DPR(detailed project report, Technical specifications etc.) then you split the whole project to ease to inserting multiple Header and Footer . But for publishing if you want to convert them PDF then you have to convert multiple files to pdf format. Also if you want to email or share your project you have to attach all the files or have to zip them using winzip, 7-zip etc.

Now click on page layout tab and then click on breaks , then after click on section breaks first page see the picture below:

3. After that goto the next page and then edit the header/footer by either menu-> insert -> header/Footer-> click on edit header/footer or simply double click on header/ footer and you will see many option on the ribbon bar then click on “link to previous” . And now you can edit different header/footer for your chapter -2. Now follow this option as many times as you want to insert different header & Footers.
