You can enable "Mirror margins" or "Different odd and even" headers/footers in Page Setup to ensure that Word honors odd page section breaks, even when no page numbers have been added.

Sometimes, you have to change the type of section ("Section start") after a section break has been added. Use the Page Setup dialog box for that purpose as well.
