You can use the Quick Part Gallery to create, store, and reuse pieces of content, including AutoText, document properties (such as title and author), and fields. These reusable blocks of content are also called building blocks. AutoText is a common type of building block that stores text and graphics. You can use the Building Blocks Organizer to find or edit a building block.
