C REATING A Q UICK P ART  D ISCUSSION

To avoid having to repeatedly reenter the same content in different documents, Word provides an environment for establishing and reusing building blocks. These building blocks can consist of text without formatting, paragraphs, and other content such as lists, images, or customized smart shapes.

Word stores these in a gallery managed by the Quick Parts tool. The building blocks that Quick Parts manages include a wide range of gallery types, such as Headers and Footers, Cover Pages, and Watermarks. When you create a building block, you can choose which gallery to keep it in and can assign a category and a description to it.

Create a new Building Block

NOTE To capture the content formatting, you must include the paragraph marks in your selection before saving it as a building block. When you save the building block, you have the option of assigning it to a different gallery and category. The default options are the Quick Parts gallery and the General category. You can add a text description, although the gallery also provides a preview of the building block.
