You can hide the printing, but the space will still be taken up.
You can use code in the PageFooter and Page Header format events like
the code below.
Private Sub PageFooterSection_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As
Integer)
Cancel = Me.Page Mod 2 = 0
End Sub

As far as I know, freeing up the space is impossible.
I suspect that you could with some middlin' complicated VBA have a Group
Header print on selected pages and have some controls that would print at the
bottom of selected pages.
Interesting challenge that I don't have time to tackle at the moment.
