Header and Footers in Word

I want to put the author name in the header on the even pages, and the book title in the header on the odd pages. I've figured out how to do it but not without making the corresponding footer page numbers disappear. I cannot seem to get one to not affect the other and I've been searching the web for days for the appropriate method to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

This is one of the most infuriating things to do while formatting in Word. I've never found a guide online that makes it as clear as I would like.
Anyway, here's what I can offer:
- Do not including any section breaks in your document.
- Finish your book completely. That means all the formatting and layout of the pages is done, the front matter is ready everything.
- Turn on Show Formatting
- Go to the first page you want to include Header content / Footer numbering on. (this is usually the first page of the first chapter as the front matter rarely includes a header/footer)
- On the previous page insert a Section Break - Next Page. If you click into the Header you'll see an indication of Section 1 and Section 2.
- Go to the first Header in Section 2. Turn off 'Link to Previous', the click 'Different Odd and Even Pages'. Also note that you can remove the Header from the first page of the section by clicking 'Different first page'.
- Now add your Even page and Odd Page Header Content.
- Repeat Step #6 for the Footer on both Even and Odd pages.
- Finally, go to the footer and insert Page Numbering for both the Even and Odd pages (this must be done individually). You may need to Format the page numbering (should be available in the Header/Footer Ribbon) to manually tell them to start on a specific page number. For example, if the first numbered page is 1, set that footer to start on 1. And the next page to start on 2. The rest of the odd and even page numbers should flow from those.
Please note that there is no perfect solution for this issue. Word documents are often layer upon layer of formatting. One little change you made to some text styles when you first drafted the document could throw off spacing that bleeds through to make the sectioning a nightmare.And be sure to check carefully the setting (link, different first page, different odd and even pages) for the header/footer for each section. Adding a new section causes the new header/footer section to default to linking to the previous. If the settings in the previous section aren't what you want, the new section will pull through those settings too.
I hope this is helpful!
If you, or anyone, wants chapter title on one side and book title on other side then follow steps above PLUS unlink to previous the first odd page in every chapter.
If you need to force start on right with a blank page before, unlink the blank page, header and footer, to previous, and the first page of chapter.
Sounds difficult but it's not. Just think Unlink, and Section Breaks.
I think I'll just have to forget about the header text after all. I don't think I'm cut out for this side of writing.
Again, thanks for the responses, it really is appreciated.
If you want, attach your manuscript and I'll fix it (and tell you what the problem was). You can delete it right afterward.

I just converted my Word file to PDF (after having to figure out how to embed fonts), but I have a few blank pages that showed up in the pre-matter (other than the intentional blanks). Would this be a problem be a misuse of section breaks in my Word file?

The fix is to use backspace/delete to pull the break unto the same line as the last piece of text on a page.
