BuildingBlock class

BuildingBlock class

Represents a glossary document entry such as a Building Block, AutoText or an AutoCorrect entry. To learn more, visit the Aspose.Words Document Object Model (DOM) documentation article.

Remarks

BuildingBlock can contain only Section nodes.

BuildingBlock can only be a child of GlossaryDocument.

You can create new building blocks and insert them into a glossary document. You can modify or delete existing building blocks. You can copy or move building blocks between documents. You can insert content of a building block into a document.

Corresponds to the docPart, docPartPr and docPartBody elements in OOXML.
