Hi Donna thank you for your video. I've a question, if you need to create two different templates with 2 different contents and therefore quick parts, how do you avoid sharing all the quick parts in both documents? My goal is to create two different templates with access to different quick parts.
Hi Ricardo, thank you for visiting my channel. If your goal is to create Quick Parts that exist in only certain templates, you will need to do the following: 1) Open the template file that you want to save specific quick parts that you are creating. 2) Create you first quick parts 3) When the Quick Parts dialog box comes up, notice that one of your field boxes is 'Save-in.' You will need to click the down arrow to choose the template that you have open as the save-in destination.
I have to edit a document with dozens of quick parts. Is there a way to search for text within quickparts so I can find the correct one? The preview window does not show everything and the font is too tiny for me to read. Worse, some quick parts contain other quick parts themselves.
Greetings, there is no method, to my knowledge, for you to search the text of a stored Quick Part. The only way to edit a Quick Part is to insert it back into the document, make the changes, go back through the steps to save again under the same name. Going forward, the best approach, to organize and locate, is to provide descriptive names for your Quick Parts and always create a Category for storage. For example, if you are maintaining multiple signature blocks, upon creation, create a Category name of Signature Blocks. In the future, when you access the Quick Parts library, all those quick parts will be under the Category of Signature Blocks. You will still have to insert a block to modify and save again.

AutoText works well for text and also works on the Mac version of Word. Very good about creating categories.
