Hi everyone,

I want to create a header and footer so that I can use always without retyping the info in it, meaning want to have them available in one of the galleries?

    To be explicit about the steps:

    • Create the content of the header and footer you want.
    • Select everything in the header.
    • Click the Header button in the Header & Footer Tools ribbon, look at the bottom of the gallery, and click "Add selection to Header gallery".
    • Enter a name (and possibly other items) in the dialog that appears.
    • Select everything in the footer.
    • Click the Footer button and click "Add selection to Footer gallery".
    • Complete the dialog that appears.
    • When exiting Word, answer yes to the prompt about saving the Building Blocks.dotx template.

    Create the desired header/footer and save it as a building block in the

    appropriate gallery.
