Thanks for the reply.

No.
When I put point under the headline and type C-c @ C-c C-e d, it prompts
me to evaluate each of the blocks, and when I answer 'no' to each, it
produces a document that omits the previously computed results.
What I want is to grab *existing* results blocks and use them.
And if at a later date some of those results blocks have changed, when I
again put point under the headline and type C-c @ C-c C-e d, I'd like
the newer blocks to be updated.
The computations in some blocks run for many minutes, so it is
impractical to recompute them every time I want to tweak the format of a
document that depends on them.
