If you're going to have an Odd Page section break at the beginning of each
chapter, don't format Heading 1 as "Page break before." Or, if this is a
single instance, just remove the "Page break before" formatting for that
single heading.
I've kind of lost track of what you're trying to do, but here's how I handle
it in book layouts:
Each chapter begins a new section.
Each section has "Different first page" and "Different odd and even"
enabled.
The First Page Header is blank, and there's a page number (centered) in the
First Page Footer.
The Even Page Header and Odd Page Footer are different, one of them usually
containing a StyleRef field to pick up the chapter title.
If the page number isn't in the header, then it's in both footers (usually
centered for simplicity).
Does this help at all?

Hi Suzanne -- yet again, thanks for answering ;-)
I've already set up both sections for "different first page" and
"different
odd and even", and have tried several types of section break as well --
next
page, continuous, and even odd page.
The only one which doesn't give me two blank pages between my title page
(page 1) and the first page of my text (what I'd like to be page 3) is the
continuous page break -- as would be expected.
However, if I place that section break at the end of the text I wish to
fall
on my title page and then make the next line of text (which I wish to be
the
first line of my first text page) a Heading 1 which is set-up with a "page
break before," I get just the single blank page in between. BUT, despite
the
settings for each section being different first and different odd & even,
I
can't get the blank page (which is the first page -- no, make that first
FULL
page -- of section 2) to have its own first page header and footer. My
headers and footers go from First Page Header Section 1 right into Even
Page
Header Section 2
This seems pretty logical in that the continuous section break sits within
the confines of the first page so my guess is that Word sees both sections
1
and 2 as 'sharing' the same first page?
I'm thinking this must be a very fine adjustment of the exact placement of
that manual section break ... but that doesn't mean I know exactly where
it
ought to go!
Any other thoughts?

You can have up to three different headers/footers (blank or with text)
in a
given section by selecting both "Different first page" and "Different
odd
and even." If you want more than that, you'll have to add a section
break.
