Creating a cover page is as simple as point, click, and edit.<br />

Tip You can customize the cover page you select by adding your logo, adding a photo of<br />

your facility, or choosing the color scheme and font style that matches your business brand.<br />

Then save the cover as an item you will reuse with other reports to give your documents a<br />

consistent look and feel.<br />

Working with Building Blocks<br />

Building Blocks are great new tools in <strong>Office</strong> Word <strong>2007</strong> that are based on the idea of reusable<br />

content. If you have a logo, letterhead, mission statement, or disclaimer that you use again and<br />

again on your professional documents, why not save those items as document parts you can<br />

insert quickly into new documents you create? This saves you the time and trouble of recreating<br />

the content and reduces the margin for error (because any time you draft something new<br />

you open up the possibility of typos and grammatical errors).<br />

The Building Blocks feature is available in the Text command set of the Insert tab. When you<br />

click the Quick Parts arrow, a gallery displays any parts you created and saved and offers<br />

options for adding fields, page numbers, or inserting other parts from the Building Blocks<br />

Organizer (see Figure 4-3).<br />

Note During the beta program for <strong>Office</strong> Word <strong>2007</strong>, Building Blocks were originally<br />

referred to as Quick Parts.
