Sorry, I couldn't find your attachment.

Now _I_ understand, too :). Apparently what I have in mind is currently 
not possible.
But it would be a neat feature for the future to be able to define areas 
where the user could insert text, pictures or tables, which don't get 
affected by the change of those predefined layouts.

In my opinion, in this case the footnote should be left empty, so only 
if the user actually enables it, the text should be shown. Another 
option would be to enable it by default, but use a little description 
how to change it à la "Use the footer/header dialogue to customize it".
