How to add text to header and footer using C#

The following code prepends the footer on the first section of a doc. However the footer on section 2 just gets overwritten.

How can I prepend the footer to every section?

private void InsertFooterWatermark(Aspose.Words.Document doc, string text, string statusName, string userName, string timezoneId)
    {
        bool footerInserted = false;

        foreach (Section section in doc)
        {
            if (section.HeadersFooters.Count == 0)
            {
                DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
                builder.MoveToSection(doc.Sections.IndexOf(section));
                builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
                footerInserted = InsertFooterText(text, statusName, userName, builder);
            }
            else
            {
                foreach (HeaderFooter footer in section.HeadersFooters)
                {
                    if (IsFooter(footer))
                    {
                        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
                        builder.MoveToSection(doc.Sections.IndexOf(section));
                        builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(footer.HeaderFooterType);
                        footerInserted = InsertFooterText(text, statusName, userName, builder);
                    }
                }
                if (!footerInserted)
                {
                    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
                    builder.MoveToSection(doc.Sections.IndexOf(section));
                    builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
                    footerInserted = InsertFooterText(text, statusName, userName, builder);
                }
            }
        }
    }

It calls this method:

private static bool InsertFooterText(string text, string statusName, string userName, DocumentBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.Font.Name = "Tahoma";
        builder.Font.Size = 7;
        builder.Font.Bold = true;
        builder.Write($"[{text} | {userName} | {statusName}] ");
        builder.Font.Bold = false;
        return true;
    }

I have attached a simple doc. It prepends the first footer but not the second. Link to previous doesn’t help either. word with footer and 2 sections.zip (14.0 KB)
