Attributes

GuidAttribute

Remarks

Use the Add(String, Range, Object, WdDocPartInsertOptions) method to create a new building block and add it to a template.

The collection returned with the BuildingBlocks collection is a filtered collection based on the type and category. Depending on how you access the collection, the collection returned changes. For example, if you access a collection of building blocks with a type of wdTypeAutoText with a category of "General", the returned collection may be different from the collection returned if you access a collection of building blocks with a type of wdTypeAutoText with a category of "Custom". It is also different from the collection returned if you access the collection of building blocks with a type of wdTypeCustomAutoText with a category of "General".
