Hi Dylan,

Word 2013 isn't doing anything unusual, compared to previous versions. Regardless of whether page numbering is used, every page has a number and you can't have a TOC that is configured to show page numbers not show them for some pages. Accordingly, you need to either:
• use two separate TOC fields, one without page numbering referring to a set of heading Styles that you use only on your un-numbered pages, the other, with page numbering referring to a set of heading Styles that you use only on your numbered pages; or
• accept the need to use a different page-numbering format (eg roman numerals) for the front matter.
The latter is the usual approach.
