No, they do not reset themselves when the document is saved, closed and
re-opened. Are you turning off the document protection and then turning it
back on again. That will reset the formfields unless you use a macro to do
it with the following command

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset
