This opens the Header & Footer Tools tab.

5. On the Header & Footer Tools, in the Navigation group, click Link to Previous to turn it off.

Add different headers and footers or page numbers in different parts of the document

You can add page numbers to only part of your document. You can also use different numbering formats in different parts of your document.
