Saving time with Quick Parts
If there is a portion of a document that you find you are reusing or copying and pasting frequently, such as your address, a disclosure, copyright information, a form, or even a decorative element, you can save that chunk of your document as a Quick Part and reuse that content over and over again with just a few clicks of your mouse. A Quick Part is simply a chunk of reusable content. In fact, Microsoft Word already comes preloaded with some Quick Parts that you can explore and use. Just open the Quick Parts gallery to view what Word already has available.
Exploring the Quick Parts gallery
To view what Quick Parts you already have available to you to add to your documents and templates, perform the following steps:
- From the ribbon, click on the Insert tab.
- In the Text group, click on the Quick Parts button.
This will open a small menu with four main options: AutoText, Document Property, Field…, and Building Blocks Organizer...
