Hi,

I am just trying to get my head around Building Blocks and have a question.
What is the difference between creating something like a footer building
block and a custom footer building block. I notice that a number of different
galleries seem to have this generic gallery and also a "custom" gallery too
(e.g. footer, header, TOC). The only difference I see is when I use a footer
as an example and place it in the custom footer gallery, I can't insert it
from anywhere other than the building block organizer. Also, why would I use
one over the other?

Thanks so much!

It makes more sense to use the "Footer" gallery since you can easily insert
such a footer in different ways (as you have noticed), for example via
Insert tab | Footer. I'm not sure why Microsoft included a "Custom Footer"
gallery as well.
