Now, double-click the header or footer area (depending on what you’re removing) on the page where you want to remove it. While it’s not obvious, the action you just took created a section break where your cursor was placed, and started your new section on the next page. On the dropdown menu, click the “Next Page” option.
Switch to the “Layout” on the Ribbon, and then click the “Breaks” button. In your document, place your cursor at the very end of the page right before the page where you want to remove the header or footer. For example, if you want to remove the header or footer on page 12, place your cursor at the end of page 11. So first, you’ll need to create a separate section in the document (even if it’s just for one page), and then you’ll need to change the page layout for that new section to landscape orientation. Word’s page layout features apply to whole sections of the document, and by default, your document is one large section. Unfortunately, you can’t just tell Word to change the layout of a single page (and headers and footers are considered part of the layout). Removing a header or footer for any page other than your first page requires a bit more work.

So if I have a bunch of continuous sections on a page that I have copy/pasted from elsewhere with their own headers (not linked), then Word will select one of the section headers (I think the top one) and use it for the page header (and/or footer).How to Delete a Header or Footer on the First Page of Your Document This is due to the fact that each section can have its own header attached. As I edit the document, my headers disappear or change. I have a bunch of continuous section breaks in my document, each seems to have its own heading.
(Use the paragraph symbol on the Home tab to show them, if you have difficulty). Once you are satisfied that the headers (or footers) are fixed, you can delete each of the new page returns. Once you fix the headers, you can test them by typing in a letter or number in one header and scrolling through the pages to make sure it shows up on all the pages. Do this for each section that you have given its own page (Ugh!). Click it to link the current header to the previous header. The design tab (of the ribbon) should have the focus and you should see a navigation pane with a “link to previous” option. Double click on the header to go into the edit header/footer mode. Once each section is on its own page, we can edit the header (or footer) for that section.
After each section break we will need to insert a new page (Ctrl-Enter for shortcut). We need to link each header from each section back to the original header (or footer).
