To clarify, this thread deals with two matters: restarting page numbers when
there are continuous section breaks present and the behavior of fields when
Track Changes is enabled.
Note that you don't have to use a macro in order to adjust the page
numbering. Actually, recent versions of Word make it easier to change page
number restart options even for continuous sections. In Word 2007 and later,
you can access the Page Number Format dialog box via Insert tab | Page
Number | Format Page Numbers.

This was very useful, so thank you stefan, but it must be said its really
not a great experience to need to find a script to fix page numbering

Field results and auto numbers may display incorrectly when you are
tracking
changes. This is by design in Word. As you have noted, accepting (or
rejecting) changes fixes it.

The page numbering in footer returns to 1 after every section break in
my
long document. I've repeatedly "fixed" this by clicking the "Continue
from
previous section" button in the Page Number Format dialog box for each
section and saved the document. But when I open the document again,
each
section starts back at page 1. I'm using Word 2007, odd and even page
headers
and footers. What am I missing? Thanks.
I had this issue in Word 2013. I was making changes to a document with
Track Changes on when I set up the sections and used the macro included
in
this post to fill in the numbers. The macro worked fine but when I save
it
and reopened it, each section was set back to beginning with page 0.
Turns
out I needed to accept all the formatting changes to create the
sections/headers and footers. THEN the page numbering would stick when
saved. Just another nuance!
