Using Building Blocks in Microsoft Word 2010

Many times in our daily work we use the same type of documents with the same wording.  For example, if you have to create an agenda for a weekly meeting you can use Building Blocks to save your formatting and wording, where you can easily insert this information to a new document.  Here is how to use this function.

• Create your document or text that you would like to use and highlight it
• Click the Insert Tab
• In the Text Group you will Click Quick Parts
• Next Click Save Selection to Quick Parts Gallery
• This will open up a pop up window where you can name your Building Block
• Now that your Building block is created, it is ready to be inserted to any document of your choice
• To insert your Building Block go back to the Insert Tab and Select Quick Parts
• But this time Click Building Blocks Organizer, Select your Building Block and Click Insert

By taking this little bit of time to save your Agenda, Cover page, Header, ect. as a Building Block, you have saved a lot more time since you will no longer have to continually re-create it.
