In MS Word 2007, how do you suppress header and footers on certain pages?

I have a 10 page document with headers and footers but I don't want to
continue on with headers and footers in the latter pages, so how
do I suppress them?

Create a section break after the last page that you want the header and footer.
After the section break remove the contents of the header and footer.

Schmoid,

I did that but it removes all the headers and footers.  I'm using 2007 in compatability mode
with 2003. I thought I read somewhere that only works in 2003 ver?

Did you get it to work in 2007?

What I did was did a section break on the last page.  It created a new page and then did
the remove header and footer but as i said it removed all the headers and footers.

Shmoid,

Right on!  Thanks a million!  I don't know why MS makes it so fricking difficult to do that.
Why don't they have a button that says something like "suppress the current page!"'

No problem. Thanks for the points!

This answer has been pointed to for the solution to another question. The reason that there isn't a 'supress header' is because the suggestion to 'add more sections' has other side effects which the naive user might not be expecting or able to cope with.
