Moving or copying building blocks from one template to another
If I have a template with a building block, for example a header in a
template A , and want to use it in another template B (that already exists), how should I best do this? The only way I can think of is like this: 1. Save template A as template C. 2. In C open Building Blocks Organizer and set the Properties of the header so it gets stored in the Building Blocks (template) or Normal.dotx 3. Open B and reset the properties of the Building Block header so that it gets stored in B. 4. Delete template C. ? thanks Robin |

Moving or copying building blocks from one template to another
Your third suggestion should work fine if you want to move individual
building blocks. Unfortunately, in Word 2007, there is no simple way to copy building blocks between documents or templates. (In Word 97-2003 you could use the Organizer dialog box to copy AutoText entries.) Another possibility is the following: You can make a copy of the template and save it in the Document Building Blocks folder (found in your user profile); that way, the building blocks in the template will be available for all documents. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Robin" wrote in message ...
