SYMPTOMS
When you try to insert a building block in Microsoft Office Word 2007, Word may appear to stop responding (hang).

Note One way to insert a building block in Word 2007 is to click the Insert tab and to then click Quick Parts in the Text group.



CAUSE
This issue may occur when lots of building blocks are saved in Word 2007.

For example, this issue may occur if the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template is approximately 5 megabytes (MB) in file size. When Word populates the building blocks galleries, up to 18 seconds may elapse before the galleries are displayed for the first time during the current Word session. As soon as the galleries are populated, the galleries are displayed as expected during the same Word session. However, if you restart Word, the issue occurs again.



WORKAROUND
There is no workaround for this issue. You must wait for the galleries to fully populate.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about building blocks, click Microsoft Office Word Help or press F1, type building blocks in the Search box, and then click Search.
