Go into Format Page Number and tell it to start numbering pages with 0.
However, it is essentially WRONG to have an odd-numbered page on the
left,
so it should be difficult, hopefully impossible, to do what you want.

Peter,
If she follows Suzanne's instructions (linked my previous response) she
would begin a new section when she wants to [re]start the numbering,
which can use an odd-page section break. That would leave the cover page
and then a blank for two-sided printing, then page 1 on the right.
Did you try it and see whether Word will allow you to violate a tradition that
is as old as numbering the folios of a codex?
What it's hard, but not impossible, to do is to get Word to show a blank page
before page 1 for when you do a reduced on-screen display, so that you can
check whether page openings look acceptable. (Word isn't for laying out books,
but sometimes it's all that's available.)
