Sorry but am behind the power curve regarding Quick Parts as we just updated to Sys7 and Office 2010 in March of this year.... so have a lot to catch up on.
Was really excited about the concept of 'Quick Parts' at first, but very disappointed when discovering the default location was on individual hard drive. Have read there is a network option for making available for distribution though. Pushing out files to over 5,000 employees is not an option. Can someone direct me to content or explain how I might make the parts available over our network?
I read that once created, Quick Parts can be saved to, and stored in a template (.dotm) on a network however, when inserting a 'Quick Part' conventionally from within Word, the only option is 'Building Blocks Organizer' and the listing seems to be those stored in the 'Building Block' file stored on MY hard drive.
Our engineering staff create documents comprised of multiple 'forms' saved in a single file. There is usually a cover sheet, frontis page, special form for toc/lists of figures & tables etc, perhaps one or two additional unique forms, then a form which serves the purpose for the body of the document. It is usually here that we run into problems as there are requirements change from portrait to landscape and back again throughout the document (including headers/footers) . I was hoping to be able to set up a horizontal and portrait page with header/footers intact that the user could insert via Quick Parts. Is this possible?
Some additional questions... while articles abound on the internet about all the wonderful things you can do with Quick Parts, there does not seem to be a lot regarding the down and dirty of how to put together these pages. I tried setting up a portrait and landscape page with appropriate header/footer and highlighting the paragraph marks on the 'text' layer and saving to the Organizer but when inserted back into the document, was missing the header/footer. Going to the header/footer layer only allows you to highlight and save either the header or the footer, but not both at the same time. How do you go about creating and saving a page w_header/footer to the gallery???????
Any insight would be so very helpful. Thank you, regards, Lenny33
