Conversion from Word to MOBI WITHOUT Cover

Hello, was hoping the expertise of the forum could please help me. I am about to publish my first eBook on Amazon. I am using Calibre to convert from MS-Word to MOBI for submission.

Amazon instructs not to include a cover in the file as they will add that themselves. However, when I convert from MS-Word, Calibre automatically takes my first page (the title page) and makes it the "cover". I am concerned Amazon will then overwrite this with my actual cover and I will lose the title page.

I have tried removing the cover from with EditMetadata, but each conversion Calibre still makes my title page the cover.

Apologies for what is likely a rookie question but would be extremely grateful for any advice anyone can offer. Have tried researching extensively but have come up with nothing. Thank you!!

Sincerely,
-Chris
