How to put Make a Footer in Word, and How to Make it only appear on One Page

Frequently when I make quizzes or worksheets I print them as two-sided documents because I’m trying to cut down on our paper consumption.

However, some of my students require visual reminders that there is more work on the second side.  So I put OVER→ down at the bottom of the page, in the Footer.  (A Footer is defined as “One or more lines of text that appear at the bottom of every page of a document. Once you specify what text should appear in the footer, the application automatically inserts it.” Dynamic footers include automatic page numbering,  or the current date which changes each time you print the document; static footers include the name of the school or teacher, etc.)

Which will bring up this dialogue box

Click Different Odd and Even and the OVER→ will vanish from Page 2! To make a packet with a cover start with Page 1 on the second page: On the Insert tab, in the Headers & Footers group, click Page Number, and then click Format Page Numbers. In the Start at box, type 0 (zero).
