**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class BuildingBlockBehavior
```

Specifies the behavior that shall be applied to the contents of the building block when it is inserted into the main document.

 **Remarks:** 

Corresponds to the **ST\_DocPartBehavior** type in OOXML.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to add a custom building block to a document.

```
