One more question - should I use Quick Parts or Auto Text gallery for this
sort of thing? "Vicky" wrote: I am using Word 2007 and would like to create some boilerplate text. I would then like to use those building blocks with other future documents.

Create new building block for boilerplate text
There are about a zillion ways to do this. You might have to say a bit more
about your needs/situation/preferences to get a specific answer. Is the boilerplate (repetitively used portion more like just a piece of text (e.g. a paragraph) or a document? Is there one boilerplate, or are you looking to set up a buffet of biolerplates? If it's one, does most of your Word use involve that particular boilerplate? Are you looking to use lower tech simple method or a sophisticated-looking method? "Vicky" wrote: One more question - should I use Quick Parts or Auto Text gallery for this sort of thing?

Create new building block for boilerplate text
THank you! I have several document templates that may contain paragraphs of
text that are repeatedly used depending on the receipient, and other factors There are several of these "boilerplates" per document. My concern is that I could create quick parts - autotext by selecting the text from existing docs, but I will then have a list of quickparts to select from that could be fairly large. The way quickparts are displayed, each one gets a substaintial piece of screen realestate. I am wondering if there is a way to organize the images of the quickparts so that the ones I use most frequently are at the top of the window?
