From: Cel on 4 Mar 2010 05:25 I know the building blocks saved to MS Word are saved to the file at C:\Documents and Settings\<<username>>\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\Building Blocks.dotx (or Vista C:/Users/<<username>>/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Document Building Block). Now I would like to edit the building blocks directly, not their properties, but the building blocks themselves. I would liek to edti them directly, because whenever i need to update one of my building blocks i currently have to delete the old building block entry, then create the updated building block somewher in word and then go and save the building block again. Instead of this indirect method, i would like to edit teh Building Blocks.dotx file directly , save it and have my updates done without the extra delete and readd hassle. But when i open Building Blocks.dotx as Open template, it is empty? i dont see any building blocks i could edit? how are the building blocks saved into Building Blocks.dotx and most importantly is there any way to edit them directly? thanks for your help.

The short answer is no. They are not stored as 'documents'.
