How to get modeless (or floating) window for Building block Organi
I use the Building Block Ograniser for a bank of standard comments which are
added into assignments which I mark online. Ideally I would like to have the Building Block Organiser in a modeless window that floats on the desktop allowing me to highlight the entry then INSERT to insert it without having to reopen it each time. Is there a way of doing this? Any assistance would be gratefully received. Peter Evans |

How to get modeless (or floating) window for Building block Organi
Hi Peter,
You may want to take a look at http://toggletoolbar.com I don't recall if the building block organizer is an entry that can end up 'floating', but in theory you can create (not through the user interface) movable panes (as demonstrated in that add-in). Fellow MVP Greg Maxey was, I believe, working on looking at these. In the meantime you may want to add one of the 'Custom Gallery' entries to the Quick Access Toolbar and create or move your most commonly used entries into that gallery (see my other post on some of the naming/organizing possibilities). You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to any of the Building Block entries. =========== "Peter" wrote in message news I use the Building Block Ograniser for a bank of standard comments which are added into assignments which I mark online.

Hi Peter,
I use the Building Block Ograniser for a bank of standard comments which are added into assignments which I mark online. Ideally I would like to have the Building Block Organiser in a modeless window that floats on the desktop allowing me to highlight the entry then INSERT to insert it without having to reopen it each time. Is there a way of doing this? FWIW a co-author (Christain Fressdorf) worked out his own "Organizer" when writing the chapter on Building Blocks for our book "Word Programmierung - Das Handbuch". It is, however, in German... He's not usually in this newsgroup, although he sometimes drops in at word.vba.general. And he's often in de.word.vba. He might be willing to share the code, or cobble up something customized for you (perhaps for a price, I don't know his policy).
