In the Developer ribbon, insert a Building Block Gallery content control. By
default, it will use just Quick Parts. However, right click the control
(while Design Mode is active), and choose Properties. There, you can choose
which gallery (but not just any gallery) and category you want to use.
For migrating AutoText, you can leave them as such and create categories to
organize them. Or, you can create custom galleries and categories.

is there any way to link a content control drop down list to a building
blocks gallery and category?
i had alot of autotext that was linked to Styles. So, a user could right
click and see the choices for that style thru the autotextlist fields.
i would like to migrate this over to building blocks, but, i don't want to
have to fish thru hundreds of choices. can the building blocks be linked
to
a content control field? The i could present the user with a short list
of
choices?
if anyone knows of an example, let me know.
