MS Word page numbers with a specific format

Question

I need to add page numbers to a document that have 5 digits all the time (i.e. 00001, 00002,... 00153)

MS Word does not natively allow for such a specific numbering convention. Is there a way to do this with VBA?

Answer 1

The field code can actually be generated fairly simply by using a numeric formatting switch:

{ PAGE \# "00000" }

Answer 2

VBA isn't necessary to achieve this. Just use nested IF fields.
