Create a blank template and save it with any temporary name in the Trusted Templates location (or anywhere else convenient). Keep the template open. Now open the Building Blocks Organizer. For each building block that you want to keep, select it, click Edit Properties, open the Save In dropdown, and select the new template. Click OK and click Yes in the confirmation message. When you've moved all the "keepers" to the new template, close Word, answering Yes to the messages to confirm changes to both the new template and Building Blocks.dotx. Open the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033 (the 1033 is the language ID for English US; choose a different one if you have another default language). Move the existing Building Blocks.dotx to some other folder outside the %appdata% path or delete it. I'd recommend renaming it if it contains any building blocks that you created after installation, just in case you need to get them again. Copy your new template into the folder and rename it as Building Blocks.dotx. (If there is no file with that name in that folder when you start Word, then Word will copy the distribution version of the file from Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\Document Parts\1033. By renaming your template, you'll block that copying.) When you restart Word, you should see only the building blocks you moved into the new template, plus any that come from add-ins. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
