Can't edit Building Blocks file

[Deejay]

Each time I enter a new Building Block it tells me that the file is open. How
do I prevent the file I'm adding to from being open in the background?

Thanks!

Are you running more than one instance of Word? Check your Task Manager and
see if there is more than one occurrence of Winword.exe. If so then that's
the reason Building Blocks.dotx is locked. Exit one of the instances of Word
and you should then be able to edit your Building Blocks.
