Quick Parts

Question

I have created about thirty quick part texts so the that I can rapidly insert them in Word documents.  I have tried to move the template files onto my labtop so that I can access them there as well without having to set them up all over again, but I have not had any success in getting them to work.

My question is how do I move quick part building blocks from one computer to another?

Answer 1

For Quick Parts created in Word, you need to know where you put those blocks - if you put them in the default Building Blocks.dotx then they will not be copied when you move the template files because Building Blocks.dotx is not, by default, in the same folder as your .dotx templates.
