I have done this in Excel spreadsheets, placed a button on the sheet
itself that runs a macro when clicked. I also have made a toolbar button
in Word that runs a macro. But is it possible to put a button in a Word
document itself that runs a macro?

Regards,

Yes, you can have buttons and macros in documents, but if you have the macro
in the document there are security implications for other users which may
result in the macros not being available, and if the macro is not in the
document other users will not be able to run it unless they have access to
the template that contains it.
