Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

Is there anything wrong in defining the same blank again?

I need to add special blanks in templates. In some documents, those
blanks will be bigger than in other ones. Is there anything wrong in
redefining in the second documents the blanks I previously defined in
the template?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
