What you are doing should be working. However, sometimes Word doesn't recognize certain modifications and consequently won't allow you to save the document.
After you've selected the "Continue from previous" option, does it help if you also make a change in the document, such as adding and deleting a character, before saving?
You may also want to try running the following macro, just to be sure that the restart option is being modified for all sections (even continuous ones without visible headers and footers):
Sub ContPageNumbering()
Dim s As Section
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers _
.RestartNumberingAtSection = False
Next s
End Sub

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.
