Simply inserting text in the footer is easy enough. The following macro will
type 'confidential' in the footer, but there are lots of issues to consider
and removal by a toggle is a whole different ball game. For example: which
footer? A document can have many different footers. Is there other text in
the footer. How do you want the entry formatting etc. This could be a major
exercise, whereas manually opening the footer and inserting an autotext
entry as already suggested is much more practical. I wonder too if a
watermark might not be more appropriate? However, if you want to play around
with it for yourself, the code is
Sub Confidential()
Dim startView As String
startView = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageFooter
Selection.TypeText Text:="Confidential"
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = startView
End Sub

If you need help with the complexities of vba programming then your question
is more appropriately asked in one of the vba forums.

Cooz,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to do as you told me, but I canīt
make the Autotext Confidential be displayed automatically in the
Footer. It is added where is the cursor in the document.
Do you know any other solution? I would like to have buttoms (like
Bold, Italic, etc.,) where I can select one of them and the document
footer would be changed to Confidential, and, if I clik again in the
same buttom, the word Confidential is deleted from the footer.

Hi Christian,
You can place your words in AutoText fragments in your template.
With Tools
Customize... | tab Commands, you can choose AutoText under
'Categories:'.
Drag your AutoText fragments from the 'Commands:' list to their
places on your toolbar.
Good luck,
Cooz

Hi,
I need to create a toolbar with comands to be used in Data
Classification. My idea is to add the words confidential, secret
and public (each one in a different command on the toolbar) in the
footer of a Word document.
I tried to use some pre-defined command but they need addictional
steps to do the task.
Can anyone help me?
