Multiple Choice Word Template?

Howdy!

I'm trying to find the simplest (and most transparent) way to
forcefully apply 1 of 2 document templates in word, based on a startup
choice.

So, when a user opens word, he/she will be asked a question: "Will
this document contain proprietary company information?".

If Yes, then a template will be applied that notes that.
If No, then another template will be applied that notes the opposite.

Can this be done easily?

Thanks!

I believe you would have to do this using a macro that is located in an
add-in. An add-in, also called a global template, is a regular Word
template (dot extension) that is stored in one of Word's startup
folders. It loads automatically when Word starts, and I believe you can
have an auto-run macro in it to do what you want. Ask in a VBA group for
the macro details.
