Making footer information as mandetory

Merry Christmas!!

The ultimate aim of mine is to

1. 'insist' myself to select a predefined template (I have 9 templates and I have to restrict myself to work ONLY on any of those templates. The templats are nothing but having few words in the footer to catogries the type of document - before opening a document. With AutoExe() macro, it is working fine but on 'cancel' in that dialog box, word opens a default page

2. While saving the document (includes all save techniques - Ctrl+S, File-Save, File-SaveAs, AutoSave etc.) should check for the documents footer. It should check whether the document is having footer (eg. Personal, official, etc - like this I have 9 categories). It should allow saving only when the footer is having any one of those text or else without saving the document, it should show an error message

Point No.1 can be implemented in some other way too. Like, while opening a word application, throw a dialog box where the 9 footer information (only the text information) can be listed (in a combo box - pull down selection bar) from there I need to select a footer text which should appear in the opened document as footer. Without selecting this I should be allowed to get into word

It would be very helpful if the relevant macros are provided
