Thanks Bob, the answer to your question is NO, I did not try that.

Now I went back to an old copy where the only available Footer change seemed to be on Page 1. There was no Footer there. Others had been changed manually.

So I went to View/Select/Select All Document with the "Header/Footer (Sec 1)" palette open.

This may have been my concern because the top two entries are:
    "This Section Has:
    "Different Headers
    "Different Footers" 
Are greyed out and ticked.

Despite not seeming to be very helpful, this apparently fixed my problem; I say apparently because it just happened. The Page 1 Footer was inserted as the same as the others.

Incidentally, I required all Footers to have Automatic entries Last Saved, Document Path and Last Printed. I needed these because I send the file, as a PDF, to my U3A Group for checking; several persons are involved and I need some control.

PS: If you are subject to getting sea-sickness or vertigo, be careful about having all changes tracked when using a Magic Mouse. Items in the Tracked Changes panel flow up and down, up and down. Geoff would not be amused & I certainly agree.
