In OpenOffice, each time one wishes to change the content in a page header/footer one should use a different page Style; in the case you are using you may need to define new Page Styles based on the same original, styles which may only differ in the detail of name. For helpful information consult

I have a long doc with sections within chapters
I want to label in the footer the section without having to restart the
numbering, changing only the text
Calendar / page 1
Calendar / page 2
Readings / page 3
Readings / page 4
Microsoft Word did this by putting in a New Section marker allowing changes
to the footer in that section

Use different page styles and don't specify any page number in the relevant field.

you should insert a field with the chapter number/caption into the footer. open the "insert/fields/other" window and select what you need from the "chapter" category. with the "level" field you could switch between chapters, sections, subsections etc.
for this to work properly you should use "heading #" styles for chapter headings. the numbering pattern is udjustable through the "tools/outline numbering" window.
