This version is for a document-level customization. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project, and call the AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection method from the ThisDocument_Startup method.
Dim buildingBlockGalleryControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl
Private Sub AddBuildingBlockGalleryControlAtSelection()
Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
buildingBlockGalleryControl1 = Me.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl( _
"buildingBlockGalleryControl1")
With buildingBlockGalleryControl1
.PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation"
.BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In"
.BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations
End With
End Sub

Private Sub AddBuildingBlockGalleryControlAtSelection()
If Me.Application.ActiveDocument Is Nothing Then
Return
End If
Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
buildingBlockGalleryControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl( _
"buildingBlockGalleryControl1")
With buildingBlockGalleryControl1
.PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation"
.BuildingBlockCategory = "Built-In"
.BuildingBlockType = Word.WdBuildingBlockTypes.wdTypeEquations
End With
End Sub
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.BuildingBlockGalleryContentControl buildingBlockControl1;
private void AddBuildingBlockControlAtSelection()
{
if (this.Application.ActiveDocument == null)
return;
Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.Select();
buildingBlockControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddBuildingBlockGalleryContentControl(
"buildingBlockControl1");
buildingBlockControl1.PlaceholderText = "Choose an equation";
