How can the last page footer of a Word 2003 document programmatically be
altered without altering the other pages?

A word template document is used with a visual basic program to generate
over 26,000 individual word documents using details from a file. The
individual word documents can have between 2-30 pages. The footer of this
word template document contains a two cell table. Cell 1 of this table must
contain a different value for the first, middle, and last pages of the word
document. For example, the first page cell 1 must be 20. Last page cell 1
must be 10. The middle pages must be 00. The cell 1 values increment for each
document and are not the same for each document.

If a section break is manually or programmatically added before the footer
of the last page, the first page either appears blank or it becomes section 1
with the rest of the pages becoming section 2 even though the goal was for
the last page footer to become section 2. Inserting a page at the end of the
document and then attempting the section break has the same results.

How can a section break be forced before the last footer without impacting
the other pages?
