Different Footers for Odd and Even Pages

The best way to set up a publishing template is to use a Word document for all document style elements, and for any front matter, and then the ELO Pub query for content. You reference the style names from the Word document in the ELO Pub template elements and then, when the document generates, it uses the Word styles.
This means that your existing document would become the style reference and so your page setup can be exactly as you currently have it.
You can also define a master page template in ELO Pub where you style the page itself and you can set up page footers in that, but I would recommend using the Word doc for style as much as you can for better separation of concerns
