I am assuming that you want to use VBA to do this.

I would insert a { DOCVARIABLE varname } field in the footer where you want
the information to appear and then use

Dim i as Long
With ActiveDocument
.Variables("varname").Value = "Your line of text"
For i = 1 to .Sections.Count
.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update
.Sections(i).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update
Next i
End With

Hope this helps.

Insert the field in the template manually from the Insert>Field menu or by
pressing Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field delimiters and typing the
DOCVARIABLE varname inside them and then using Alt+F9 to toggle off the
display of the field codes. Then when the macro is run, the information
that is stored in the variable by the code in the macro will be displayed
