Page Numbering Frustration

Ok, I am trying to put together a document with a pretty standard
structer for published documents. Here is what I'm looking for.

Title - Odd Page
Blank - Even Page
TOC - Odd Page  (extends 3 pages)
Section 1 Title Page - Odd page
        No page number
    Blank - Even Page
        No page number
    Content - Odd Page
        Start page numbering at 1 (Section 1.1, Section 1.2, etc.)
Section 2 Title Page  - Odd page
        No page number
    Blank - Even Page
        No page number
    Content - Odd Page
        Start page numbering at 1 (Section 2.1, Section 2.2, etc.)
And so on...

Without going into all the headaches the most persistant problems are:
- Restarting page numbering - sometimes it counts the sectios 1st page
sometimes it don't (restart numbering set to 0) - probably caused by
next item.
- How can I always start section on Odd page without adding extra
section breaks (gets tedious and confusing)

I do consider myself fairly adept with word but not expert by any
means however, the above format seems pretty standard so why does it
seem so difficult to accomplish?

I have extensive experience with VBA but not so much in Word, so if
this can be accomplished in VBA I'm open to help.

The key to this document is setting it up so someone who comes behind
me may be able to make modifications without destroying the structure.

Thanks

Well, one easy question to answer is that you can always start a section on
an odd page by inserting an Odd Page section break. You won't actually see
the extra even page Word will insert (it's completely blank) unless you have
"Different odd or even" and/or "Mirror margins" enabled and view two pages
in Print Preview, but it will "print."
