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.
