how to add building blocks in Word by VBA also in footer

Frankly you can insert building blocks anywhere practical. If you want to insert a sequernce of building blocks at a range then try the following function

Code:

Sub AutoTextToRange(oRng As Range, oTemplate As Template, strAutotext As String)
'oRng is the name of the range to Place
'oTemplate is the template with the autotext - probably ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
'strAutotext is the name of the autotext entry
    Set oRng = oTemplate.AutoTextEntries(strAutotext).Insert _
               (Where:=oRng, RichText:=True)
    oRng.Collapse 0
    oRng.Select
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

You can call that as many times as you have building blocks to insert. Each time it puts the selection at the end of the building block. The following puts two building blocks consecutively at the cursor.

You could instead insert the first one at a range and the rest will follow.

Code:

AutoTextToRange Selection.Range, ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate, "BBName1"
AutoTextToRange Selection.Range, ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate, "BBName2"
