Hi all,

I have been asked to write a program that prompts the user to add or edit
data classification labels when a document is saved with any changes. I need
to cover Microsoft Word documents, Excel workbooks and PowerPoint
presentations. So, the user will close or save a file. If it is a new
document, the program will prompt the user to assign a label like
"confidential", "internal" or "public." Once the user makes a choice, the
label will be placed on the footer of every page.

If a document already has classification labels, the user should get a
button or a menu option to edit the labels. If he selects this option, he is
asked to choose the label and that label will be applied across the footer
of every page.

One way for me to build this solution is to create macros. However, is there
a better way where I need not build individual macros?
