Default Inserting NUMPAGES field in 2007

I have created an add-in which modifies the ribbon for the header/footer
commands - http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/HeaderRibbon.zip - See how you get on
with that. Install the template from the zip file in the Word 2007 startup
folder.

In that case, is there any way to suggest to Uncle Bill that he include
that
functionality in the next update to Word?

Thank you. I'm glad it's not just me.

toolbar, with the Insert Page Number, Insert Number of Pages, Page

I'm still a rank (and somewhat rankled) beginner in Word 2007.

In 2003, the Header/Footer toolbar had an icon for inserting the {
PAGE }
field, and a separate icon right next to it for inserting the {
NUMPAGES }
field, which I usually changed to { SECTIONPAGES }.

I often have documents in which the previous editor hard-typed the
number
of
pages (Page { PAGE } of 11) instead of using the second field. Is
there
an
easy place to find and insert the { NUMPAGES } field? Or do I always
have
to
erase the entire line and re-insert it from the Design - Page
Number -
Current Position - Page X of Y sequence? This four-step obstacle
course
seems
awfully awkward to someone who's used to having the option available
right
there on the screen every time you opened the header or footer.

Thanks
