Default Section Break (odd) and Setting page number to 1

Enable "Different odd and even" or "Mirror margins" in File | Page Setup.
Unless at least one of these options are enabled, Word looks at the
restarted page number and decides that a filler page is not needed, since
the restarted page number is odd.

I am using MS Word 2003 and running Windows XP Pro SP2. The printer we are
using is an HP 8150DN which has a Duplexer unit installed.

I am working on word document for a report where the document in Word is
set
up so that the first page is a cover sheet (A), the second page is a fly
cover sheet (B), and the third page is page 1 (C) of a lettre, table of
contents, or report.

I have the document set up as follows

A
Section Break (odd)
B
Section Break (odd)
C

When I do a print preview I get

A
Blank page
B
Blank page
C

This is great exactly what I want because it leave a blank back side to
the
the cover page and fly cover sheet. The problem occurs with section C.

When I look at the first page of section C initially it is page 5 which
makes perfect sense. When I sect the page number for the first page in
section C to start at 1, it does start numbering at 1 like its supposed
to.
The problem is that the blank page between B and C disappears resulting in
the first page of section C printing n the back side of B.

I can easilly see printing the pages separately or putting them in a
separate document, but I am wanting to keep all the information together
so
that anyone unfamiliar with the document can simply open it, hit print,
and
it will come out on the pages the way it was intended.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to deal with this?
