Default Share Building Blocks

We have Word 2007

Is there a way to share the following with other users on the same network:

Custom Building Blocks (specifically Quick Parts)
User-Created Macros
Custom Themes

How can I share these items and where are they stored?

Thank you very much!

Default Share Building Blocks

Building blocks, like macros, are stored in templates; you could just copy
the relevant template files to users' machines (to the user templates folders
or to the startup folder, depending on how you want to use the macros). See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...buteMacros.htm as well as
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...latesStore.htm.

The files used to create themes are stored in the Document Themes folder in
the user profile. Again, these can be copied to individual users' machines,
for example via a login script.

I forgot to mention that templates containing building blocks that you want
to be globally available can be placed in the Building Blocks folder.
