Default Can I export/Import Building Blocks?

I have a group of users that created template files in the old file format
2003, and setup a large list of AutoText to insert.

Now they have redone their template files, but all the new templates dont
have the building blocks/Auto Text avaialbe to insterted. I am wondering if
there is a way to export the building blocks from our old templates and
import into the newly created template files.

We are currently using Word 2007, but I believe the new templates are
created as .dot NOT .dotm.

Any help would be appreciated!

There's no need to export/import the AutoText.

Make a copy of the template (.dot file) from 2003. If it contains any
macros, it's a good idea to remove them from the copy. Place the copy in the
folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks. That will make the
AutoText available.
