So how long have you used Word 2007 extensively? I've been using various versions of Word as my primary Word processor since the late 1980s (ie for around 25 years). I've been providing on-line support for it for around a decade and have been an MS MVP since well before Word 2007 was released - an award given in recognition of the amount of help I've given people over the years.

Normal dot has all the functionality it ever had. It seems that you haven't come to grips with that and the added functionality introduced with building blocks. The former is for templates, the latter is for re-usable content. The two are entirely different concepts.
