I solve this by making sure each portion of the document where the page
layout changes is a separate *section* - do this by inserting a section
break between each. Then you can adjust the header for each section
individually. But in doing so, you need to avoid the "same as previous"
setting.
I don't know a fast easy way to do this; instead, my method forces you to
tweak each section, which can be a drag.
