Should be able to copy Building Blocks between templates
Thanks Beth, but this doesn't help me. The organiser is manual and you can
only edit one Building Block at a time. I need to copy many 'Autotext' entries to many templates. This is not a one-off task. We periodically update the entries. It may transpire that we change our methods when we move to 2007. Alternatively I will be looking for a vba solution. -- Cheers Carolin "Beth Melton" wrote: You can copy Building Blocks between templates using the Building Blocks Organizer.

Should be able to copy Building Blocks between templates
What are you currently doing in Word 2003 (or whatever version you currently
have) and in what way would you like to change the behaviour in Word 2007? -- Enjoy, Tony Jollans Microsoft Word MVP "Carolin" wrote in message ... Thanks Beth, but this doesn't help me.

Should be able to copy Building Blocks between templates
We are currently running with Word 2003 and have a highly customised Word
environment. This is applied across 8 offices. Each office has it's own template that contains Autotext entries specific to that office and firm wide Autotext entries. From time to time the firm wide autotext entries may change and these are copied across to the other templates. I currently use the Organiser to do this. Also, when a template suffers bloat and needs to be rebuilt, I use the Organiser to copy over macros, Autotext & styles to the newly created template. In Word 2007 I am looking for a method of copying a group of Autotext entries (or Building Blocks) to another template. I do not want to edit an individual Building Block and change it's template. This is too time consuming when it has to be done over several templates. I haven't reviewed the changes to vba at this stage, but this is my next option. -- Cheers Carolin "Tony Jollans" wrote: What are you currently doing in Word 2003 (or whatever version you currently have) and in what way would you like to change the behaviour in Word 2007? -- Enjoy, Tony Jollans Microsoft Word MVP "Carolin" wrote in message ...

Why don't you just have the firm-wide Autotexts / Building Blocks in their
own Template? This could then be rolled out whenever there were changes without affecting anything else. -- Enjoy, Tony Jollans Microsoft Word MVP "Carolin" wrote in message ...

Should be able to copy Building Blocks between templates
Yes Tony, I may have to do just that. However, the copy will still be
missed. A lot of the Autotext are the same for each office, but just have office specific data. It's easier to copy the AutoText and then make the minor mods. Anyway thanks all for you help. -- Cheers Carolin "Tony Jollans" wrote: Why don't you just have the firm-wide Autotexts / Building Blocks in their own Template?
