Default Embed Building Block in document for use on other profiles

I am creating a document where I would like to use Building Blocks to enter consistent information and formatting. However I am only creating a template and the document will be used by others in another company. How do I embed a Building Block in the document rather than using the Normal.dotm or Building Blocks.dotx, so that it can be used everywhere?

Building Blocks can be stored in any template, but not in a document.
You can put it in a .dotx document template and have the users create new documents from that template.
You can store it in a Global Template. Such a template should be stored in the Word Startup Folder.

See Where can Building Blocks be stored?

Thank you Charles, that's what I thought was the case, back to the drawing board....

Is there a reason why you cannot send the template to the other company? That may be a novel concept to them, but if so, it is time they learned to use templates.
