Question Start page number on page 3, go to page not working properly

I have a 97-03 document.

Page 1 of the document is the title page.
Page 2 of the document is a table of contents.

Page 3 of the document is where the content starts, so I added a section break at the bottom of page 2 so that the page count starts on page 3. In other words, the page number at the bottom of page 3 is page 1.

Now, when I hit CTRL+G and go to page 2, it goes to the page numbered as 2. When I hit CTRL+G and go to page 3, it goes to the page numbered as 3. So on and so forth.

Great!

Here's the problem. When I hit CTRL+G and go to page 1, it goes to the table of contents page instead of the page numbered as 1.

When I choose to show the paragraph marks and other formatting symbols, here is what I see:

Bottom of Title Page:
Page Break

Bottom of Table of Contents Page:
Section Break - Next Page

Bottom of page 3 (numbered as page 1):
Page Break

I am assuming the problem has to do with the fact that there is no page break at the bottom of the table of content page. But I've tried inserting a page break there and that did not solve the problem.

Please help! I've been trying to fix this all day and it's driving me nuts.
