I have a two-page document in Pages. I'm trying to format the footer on page one to say "continued", but on page two, either have the page number (pref.), or be blank. I can't remove, add, or change one without affecting the other.
Is there a way to do this?

Yes. Click Document in the top right corner. Select Section, and click "Create a new section" at the bottom.
Hope this helps.
I tried, it still seems affected in both cases.
You may have omitted to look at the Document > Section (if using Pages 5.x) or Layout > Section (Pages 09). In this area you need to 'uncheck' Match previous section or 'Use previous headers & footers'...
The above applies ONLY once you are working in the NEW section you created with a section break
I guess I don't really understand the purpose of "create new section" then. I've been told to use it, but am I using it incorrectly? I'm obviously a novice at this. Because, I have tried unchecking the "match previous section" but I'm guessing that it only works if I technically have two separate sections.
So, maybe what I'm gathering is that I am to "create new section" at the bottom of page one BEFORE I even create a second page? At this point, the whole two pages are typed, I'm just trying to add in "continued" into the footer on page one, and either nothing or "2" at the footer of page two.
Is this correct? Something is not right in what I am doing.
