You might not be prompted if you save the document in Normal view, which
won't force repagination on opening.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?UGF1bA==?=,

You can LOCK a field to prevent it from updating. Select it, then press
Ctrl+F11. (Unlock is Ctrl+Shift+F11) However, this might (probably would) force
the page number in a header/footer to appear the same on all pages...

An alternate approach could be to not put the page number in the header/footer,
but in a frame, positioned over the header/footer, on each and every page. Then
you could lock the PAGE fields and they'd still show the correct number.
