Word XP 2000 section breaks faulty?
I added New Page section breaks to make chapters in my book.
Then I typed in different headers for each section break/chapter.
But the newest header always becomes the header thru-out.
First I tried adding the headers from last chapter to first and then tried first chapter to last with the same results, i.e. the last typed header dominates every page, the section breaks aren't working.
I also started with a new file, made five pages using New Page section breaks, then put in different headers, but the newest header always appears on every page. What is my problem? Thank you Great Sages and Super Nerds.

Ok, I installed Office 2000 in a virtual machine.
I opened Word, inserted a new section (using Insert -> Break -> Next page). Typed some text in both sections.
Then I went to View -> Header and Footer
The first header said "Header - Section 1", the one of the second page said "Header - Section 2", and "Same as previous" on the top right. In the header/footer toolbar that also appeared, I looked for an appropriate setting, and found it near the center, fourth button from the left. (Move the mouse over a button and keep it there without clicking and you'll get a tooltip describing its function.)
The button is depressed by default. Simply click into the second header, then click the button so it pops back up. "Same as previous" will disappear, and you can now use different headers.
