In this instance only, provided you are omitting numbering on the first
page, you can tell Word to start numbering at 0. It would probably benefit
you in the long run, however, to learn more about how to do this sort of
pagination; see

I am working on a manuscript. The manuscript has 300 pages and they are
numbered. (I used the insert page number command.) When I try to add a
title page to the manuscript, I can't get the first page of actual text to
retain the page number "1." Since it thinks it's the second page of the
document, it gets renumbered to "2."
