Are Building Blocks embedded in the document (Word 2007)

[abc]

Hi All,

If while editing a document I create building blocks with sentences that
I use frequently, are those building blocks going to be available to
anybody that I send the .doc file to? If the answer is Yes, is there a
way to remove the building blocks from the document before I send it?

Thanks!

The answer is no. First, by design, building blocks can be stored only in
templates (.dotx or .dotm files), not in documents. Second, whenever you
make a new building block, the little dialog where you name it also contains
a place where you can say where you want it to be saved. That may be
Building Blocks.dotx, Normal.dotm, or another template if you've based the
current document on one other than Normal.dotm (or otherwise loaded another
template).
