I can make even and odd pages have different footers, but I want page 4's to be different from page 2's and page 5's from page 3's.

To actually create a new footer for each page, you'll need a section break at the end of each page (and you'll have to unlink the relevant footers). But in what respect should footers be different? For example, if you want to include text from the page, you can format that text in a unique style and then make use of the STYLEREF field.

    I agree with Stefan, you will need multiple section breaks for legitamatly different footers. Can you paint us a better picture of exactly what you need to accomplish?

    It is part of an assignment for the Microsoft Certification it is asking precisely  to add a difderent name to each page footer in the document

    Word headers and footers still work the same as they used to in Word 97. You have to explain in detail what you are trying to accomplish.
