I’ve recently had to use Word heavily. After all these years, I still don’t understand it.
It’s like Adobe Illustrator to the rest of the Adobe suite. It just does everything it’s own way with zero familiarity to Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, AfterEffects, Lightroom, etc. All the way down to the interface and menus being it’s own thing.
But say that to someone that knows Word (or Illustrator) well and they look at you like you’re an idiot.
“Yeah, you have to sacrifice a goat and hit this exclusive key combo, obviously.”
I swear I’m not an idiot. I just haven’t been in the abusive relationship long enough to try make it work.
I just did this yesterday with footers. Create section breaks at the end of 5 and 6. Then click on the footer, unlink it, then delete. Then you whisper to yourself “fuck yeah”.
That’s what people have said for years, and it’s a bullshit solution that shouldn’t be necessary. Word has had 40 years to address simple shit like this.

“Hey Word, I’d like to remove the header and page number from page 6 and only page 6.”
“Go fuck yourself user”

The solution is to uninstall Microslop 360 Copilot AI™®© and write it in LaTeX.
I think the answer there is section breaks

Like, what’s the proposed solution? A list of header exception page numbers?
Just click the footer, check a box to make changes apply only to a single page, and do whatever the fuck you want.
