Why footer page is appearing on the first one and not the others in Word

Question

I'm trying to setup a footer on my Word document, with page numbering.

The document has only 5 pages

First page and second page are appearing on the footer setup as you can see.

However, the page numbering is not appearing on the rest of the pages (see below):

Worst is the footer seems to be stuck at section 3, not counting the 4th page nor giving me enough space to put a page number.

The last pages are the same:

Final result is this:

Any tips / insights are welcomed.

Answer 1

Why my footer page is appearing on the first one and not the others

It seems you need to ensure that you link the footers to the previous page and that you have that option enabled.

Insert Headers and Footers

Use the same header or footer across section boundaries

In a document where the header or footer varies by section, you can make the header or footer the same across section boundaries.

1. Double-click the header or footer that you want to preserve across section boundaries.

2. On the Headers & Footers tab, in the Navigation group, click Next Section Button.

3. Click Link to Previous Button.

4. Office Word 2007 will ask if you want to delete the header and footer and connect to the header and footer in the previous section. Click Yes.
