Default Header automatically displays title of next section

My document setup is:

Section 1:
Cover page (Word's Motion cover page)
Blank page

Section 2:
Table of Contents. It is automatically created, and has the automated title "Table of Contents"

Table 3:
Body of document

I inserted the blank page after the cover page.
I inserted Next Page page breaks to create Sections 2 and 3.

I open the header of the first page of Section 2 (Table of Contents) and choose Word's Motion odd page header since that page is a right-hand page. Word does the following things that I don't understand:

- It displays the Level 1 heading from Section 3 in the Section 2 first page header and in the cover page header. I would prefer that the Section 2 first page header say "Table of Contents" or the document name - obviously I don't want the Section 3 heading there. And I obviously don't want a header of any kind displaying on the cover page.

- It assigns zero as the first page number of Sections 2 and 3. I know how to go in and change the first page number of these Sections, but does the zero indicate I'm doing something wrong?

How do I avoid/fix these problems?

Thanks
