Create the following sample macro:

   Sub main
      AddButton "header and footer", 12, 1, "FormatPageNumber", 303, 0
   End sub

The AddButton WordBasic command adds a toolbar button that can run a built- in command or a macro, apply a font or style, or insert an AutoText entry. This command uses the following syntax:

   AddButton Toolbar$, Position, Category, Name$ [, ButtonTxtOrImageNum[$]]
   [, Context] [, CommandValue$]

   This argument           Specifies this
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Toolbar$                The name of the toolbar as listed in the
                           Toolbars dialog box (View menu)

   Position                The placement of the button on the toolbar. For
                           example, 1 indicates first position, 2 indicates
                           second position and so on.

   Category                The type of item to be assigned:

                              1  Built-in Command
                              2  Macro
                              3  Fonts
                              4  AutoText entries
                              5  Styles

   Name$                   The name of the built-in command, macro, font,
                           style or AutoText entry.

   ButtonTxtOrImageNum[$]  The text you want to appear on the button, or a
                           number corresponding to an image.

   Context                 Where the new toolbar assignment is stored:

                              0  Normal Template
                              1  Active template

   CommandValue$           Additional text, if any, required for the
                           command specified by Name$. For example, if
                           Name$ is "Color," CommandValue$ specifies the
                           color.
