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! |

Can I export/Import Building Blocks?
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. -- 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.
