Document classification toolbar
First Claim
1. A method for document classification in a word processing document creation application comprising:
- providing a security classification toolbar within an extendable mark-up language (XML) based word processing document in the document creation application, the classification toolbar providing a first classification selection input;
populating the first security classification selection input in the classification toolbar with a plurality of security classification selections based upon pre-defined security classification criteria, the pre-defined classification criteria defining the plurality of security classification selections available to a user of the document creation application;
receiving a first security classification selection input from the plurality of security classification selection, selected by the user, from the first security classification selections populated in the toolbar;
applying visual cues associated with the selected first security classification input, the visual cues presented within editable text portions of the document in the document creation application to provide visual indication within the text of the document to identify that the document has been security classified based upon the selected first security classification;
assigning security classification properties to the document metadata embedded in the XML based word processing document identifying the first selected security classification input; and
verifying that the first security classification property in the document has not been tampered by calculating a hash of document properties when the document is saved and subsequently comparing the hash on retrieval and opening of the document.

Abstract
Electronic document classification is disclosed. A toolbar adds the ability to classify documents based on specific properties such as security classification, information type, document type, document retention, document caveats, and the like associated. The toolbar through dropdown selections allows users to select the appropriate classification and properties based upon the content of the document and have appropriate classifiers added to the document. Document classification properties are generated that are associated with the document in the document properties and by inserting visual markings that allow users to quickly identify the security, sensitivity, intended distribution or retention. By utilizing the classification toolbar a user can classify an document by one or more classification levels and be ensured that the classification will be visible to any person viewing the document.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions for providing document classification in a word processing document creation application, the instructions which when executed by a processor performing:
-
providing a security classification toolbar within an extendable mark-up language (XML) based word processing document in the document creation application, the classification toolbar providing at least a first classification selection input; populating the first security classification selection input in the classification toolbar with a plurality of security classification selections based upon pre-defined security classification criteria stored in the memory, the pre-defined classification criteria defining the plurality of security classification selections available to a user of the document creation application; receiving a first security classification selection input from the plurality of security classification selection, selected by the user, from the first security classification selections populated in the toolbar; applying visual cues associated with the selected first security classification visual cues presented within editable text portions of the document in the document creation application to provide visual indication within the text of the document to identify that the document has been security classified based upon the selected first security classification; assigning classification properties to the document metadata embedded in the XML based word processing document identifying the first selected security classification input; and verifying that the first security classification property in the document has not been tampered by calculating a hash of document properties when the document is saved and subsequently comparing the hash on retrieval and opening of the document.
