You wouldn't have this problem if you limited your creativity to what was suggested. Better still learn how to use Word so you understand the implications of what you're doing.
Normally, your front matter would have the pages numbered with Roman numerals, with the body of the work starting after the TOC and, as the attachment shows, possibly even starting at 1.
