How do I show current section number in a custom toolbar?

The Word status bar shows the section number based on cursor's current
location.

How do I harness this bit of info for a custom toolbar?

There are no standard controls available from Word in the Customize
dialog.

Right now all I can see to do is:

Create a macro that adds a button control to the toolbar everytime the
template is loaded. Then that button's caption would update everytime
the cursor moves.

Seems like overkill. All guidance/ideas greatly appreciated.

Your summary is correct - that is the way and it is overkill.
