Add content to Word status bar

[Guest]

When looking at the status bar at the bottom of my Word program, there
are these faded white boxes with information in them. Some have
Page/Sec, Ln/Col, Rec/trk/ext, etc. Optionally you can also have a
"book" for spelling/grammar or a WPH for word perfect help.

And I notice there is at least one empty box.

So, I ask, is there a way to insert a field like paper size, since my
practice involves A4 and LTR (or LGL) sized documents I would like to
have a visual indicator that tells me what paper size I am working with
(other than looking at the top/side rulers).
