"Same as previous" doesn't stay set

We are not using different first page or different odd and even. Just one
header and footer per section.

OK. Under which circumstances does "Same as previous" get activated again?
Can you see a pattern?

The point I was trying to make in an earlier message was that if you add a
new section, "Same as previous" will be switched on by default (even if the
option is turned off in the existing sections).

We can't see much of a pattern except that we were doing ordinary work on the
document. The times that it happened may have involved adding a new section
in the main body that does use "keep with previous". Could this affect the
front matter where this feature is off? (Seems to me it shouldn't, but this
is Word.)

Intermittent issues are very difficult to troubleshoot, of course... :-(

I agree that it seems unlikely that a section break outside of the front
matter would affect the front matter.

Just in case the document is damaged, you could try the following (on a COPY
of the document): Delete all the section breaks, copy the content (except
for the final paragraph mark) into a new document, and then recreate the
section breaks.
