You shouldn't be starting a new section on each page, so you won't need to
know how to unlink them. See

I am writing a multi page letter and only want the header on the first
page.
Page set up shows that a new section is created with each new page. I
cannot
unlink the pages to delete the header and footer... Unlink does not work.
