Word 2007, mail merge, header, page numbering

I have a template originally created in Word 2003, where it worked perfectly.
I have not been able to get it to work correctly since we converted to Word
2007. The template is an invoice. The user first merges the data. Then
creates a header and inserts a quick part that contains our company logo and
other information. The quick part also contains the invoice number, which is
created using the page numbering feature. In Word 2003 the user was able to
change the page number of the first page and all pages following would also
change consecutively. I know this must be really simple, but I can't figure
out why the page numbers on page 2 and all following pages are not changing.
It appears that Word is creating a different section for each merged record,
but I think it used to do that in Word 2003 as well. What's different now?
What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I do not think that there has been a change in the way the headers are
created in mail merged documents from Word 2003 to Word 2007 as from my
tests with both versions, the headers were not linked to that in the
previous section.

If you run the following macro on the document created by executing the
merge, it will link all of the headers in the document to that in the first
section.

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 2 To .Sections.Count - 1
.Sections(i).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).LinkTo Previous = True
Next i
End With
