[BuildingBlock](./) can contain only [Section](../../aspose.words/section/) nodes. [BuildingBlock](./) can only be a child of [GlossaryDocument](../glossarydocument/). You can create new building blocks and insert them into a glossary document. You can modify or delete existing building blocks. You can copy or move building blocks between documents. You can insert content of a building block into a document. Corresponds to the **docPart**, **docPartPr** and **docPartBody** elements in OOXML. ## See Also * Class [CompositeNode](../../aspose.words/compositenode/) * Namespace [Aspose::Words::BuildingBlocks](../) * Library [Aspose.Words for C++](../../)
