I'm glad I could help. A couple of things are going on here. One is that,
unlike "Different first page," the "Different odd and even" setting is
applied to the whole document (it can't be activated for specific sections),
so even when your odd and even header/footer will be the same in a given
section, you still have to set up both the odd and the even.
The other is that you seem to have an incomplete understanding of section
breaks. It is a little confusing that the section break, as viewed in Normal
view, reflects the section start type for the *following* section ("Section
Break (Odd Page)," for example), yet it holds the section formatting for the
*previous* section. This makes working with sections and section breaks
(especially deleting or replacing breaks) rather delicate. For more on this,
see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm. Note that you
can change the section start type on the Layout tab of Page Setup; this is a
more reliable method than deleting or replacing a break, which wipes out the
formatting for the previous section.
