I have a master document/subdocuments. I would like to have a

and create a header, it works fine. But, If I create a footer in
a subdocument, it is not carried to the master document.
I'm no expert on master documents, but here's a thought. The
master document appears to inherit styles from its subdocuments.
And headers and footers are properties of their page styles, of
course. So I think you need to create different page styles in
your subdocuments and create the footers in those. These styles
could simply be copies of each other, provided they have different
names. You may then need to repeat your common header in each page
style, but that's a small inconvenience.
I trust this helps.

Thanks Brian, but that is really messy in a document with lots of
subdocuments. I was hoping there is an easier, more straightforward
way.

Bill, you haven't mentioned what is unique about the footers in the
subdocuments. If it could be accomplished through fields (predefined
or custom), maybe your master document could contain the footer as
well as the header. I'm no expert on fields, but I'll bet Brian or
somebody could help with that.
The header is the title of the whole book. I want the footers to just
be the chapter title.
That should be straightforward, just Insert > Fields > Other, Document
tab, Chapter, Chapter name into the master document footer and I think
you'll have what you need as long as you're using the standard styles
(Heading 1 content is used as chapter name).
Wow !
Worked like a treat !
Thank you so much.
