Page numbering can be complex if you let it be.
My wild guess is that you have set your Section to start on an "Odd Page".
If you have, Word will insert a blank sheet before your document when it
sends it to the printer, so that the first page will be an odd page. And it
will indeed be Page 5.
If you change that document to start on the "Next Page", you will then be
able to start it on an even page if you wish, and Page Number 4 will be the
first one visible.
