## Remarks


Some documents, usually templates, can contain AutoText, AutoCorrect entries and/or Building Blocks (also known as *glossary document entries*, *document parts* or *building blocks*).

To access building blocks, you need to load a document into a [Document](../../aspose.words/document/) object. Building blocks will be available via the [GlossaryDocument](../../aspose.words/document/get_glossarydocument/) property.

[GlossaryDocument](./) can contain any number of [BuildingBlock](../buildingblock/) objects. Each [BuildingBlock](../buildingblock/) represents one document part.

Corresponds to the **glossaryDocument** and **docParts** elements in OOXML.
