Question : How do i restart page numbering in a footer for a new section.

I have a word document which has several sections and depending on the user, he needs to be able to click on a section and then select to restart the numbering for the section from 1 or continue numbering from the previous section.

The page number is already displayed in a table in the footer so i want to simply modify this number retaining the position and font as before.

I asume the easiest way to do this would be to have a button on a tool bar.
There is a custom toolbar which can be used for this. I dont know how to add an extra button to teh custom tool bar so i need some help on that as well please.

Thanks for your help

You could use this macro.

Sub PageNumberFormatting()
Dim dlg As Dialog
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogFormatPageNumber)
dlg.Show
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True
End Sub

Use Customize again. This time select 'Macros' and find the macro in the RH box. Drag the macro to the toolbar.
