To clear up a few misconceptions:
1. When you click on "Same as Previous," you're turning it off or disabling
it, thereby breaking the connection between the two sections.
2. Yes, of course, you must use the Insert Page Number (#) button on the
Header and Footer toolbar to insert your page number (not just type it in).
What Luc was cautioning against was using the Insert | Page Numbers command
from the menu as opposed to View | Header and Footer, then Insert Page
Number.
3. The settings in Page Setup for "This section" and "This point forward"
are irrelevant to headers and footers; you link or unlink them using the
Same as Previous button (presumably they would be relevant to your settings
for "Different first page," but they're powerless to affect "Different odd
and even"; once you check that for any section, it applies to all).
