copying building blocks

**Peeps32** · 11-10-2011, 03:10 PM

i have a user who will be on leave for a few months. she uses the building blocks app quite frequently and we would like the current employee who will be assuming her duties to have access to the building blocks on her own laptop.

is there a way to copy the building blocks directory/information from on computer to another?

I have attached a photo of where building blocks is being used in case others use it as a different name (i heard it called auto text too)

thanks

Jerry

You can copy the template that contains those autotextentries to the other user's system.

I assum the autotextentries are part of the normaltemplate.

then use this macro

 
Sub snb()
 With Documents.Add
   .SaveAs "E:\OF\Autotextentries.dot", wdFormatTemplate
   .Close
 End With
 Documents.Add "E:\OF\Autotextentries.dot"
    
 For Each te In NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries
   Application.OrganizerCopy NormalTemplate, ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate, te.Name, wdOrganizerObjectAutoText
 Next

 ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.Save
 ActiveDocument.Close
End Sub

Now the result is a template 'Autotextentries.dot'
Every new document based on this template wil contain all 'buildingblocks'.
