I am working on VBA code that composes a document out of pieces of other information.
The overall information has to stay in foundation. Only the specified pieces need to be added to the document. Once generated it most be possible to add new pieces of Information to the document on a later stage.

Currently i am using Userfrom with listboxes. Users Can select buildingblocks and cetagories from another template that stays in the foundation. The buildingblocks are inserted in the document. This is working

But: Aside from the buildingblock content that eventually ends up at a customer our staff needs some Side-Information to keep in mind. This information is different for each buildingblock.
My Solution would be:
- Have two type of Buildingblocks. They both have the same categories


- In Type 1 is the actual Buildingblock information that is being inserted in the document
- In Type 2 is the "side" information, that should be visible in an Editbox on the userform. So when an employee selects a BuildingBlock from a listbox, he sees the remarks for that buildingblock
- Unfortunately the comments part of a buildingblock is to limited in terms of number of characters


So the questions are:
- What is the best way to get buildingblock text into an editbox on a userform
- Or is there another/better way to approach this problem

For a BuildingBlock that only contains text you can use the Value property - see BuildingBlock.Value property (Word) | Microsoft Learn

Bear in mind that any formatting will be lost.

Use the corresponding custom gallery to hide the instructions from the user.
