Default Does Mac support building blocks built on Windows ?

I made a template with some custom autotext on Windows. Could the template be used on Mac properly?

I believe that Word for Mac does not support the full range of Building Block types.

AutoText entries should be supported on both platforms, though.

AutoText works on the Mac.
Currently, other building blocks do not but are subsets of AutoText.
