You can have different headers of footers in one document. Microsoft Word help with this task easily.

The trick is to insert Section Breaks instead of Page Breaks.

To insert different headers of footers in the same document, follow these steps:

1. When you have to insert the next page, but the header or footer needs to be different than the previous one, select Insert ► Break from the menu bar.

The Break dialog box opens.
