MORE INFORMATION
The installed copy of the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template in the Program Files folder is the installed copy of the template. The template is copied from the Program Files folder to the Application Data folder if Word 2007 detects that the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template does not to exist in the Application Data folder. The installed copy is only replicated to the user profile when the user uses a feature that uses a gallery.

You can delete the installed copy of the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template from the Program Files folder to remove the template from the computer. Additionally, this will prevent Word 2007 from replicating the template to the Application Data folder. When you repair the Word 2007 installation or the 2007 Office suite installation, a clean copy of the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template is installed on the computer.

If the &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template is not located in the folders that are described in the &quot;More Information&quot; section, you may be using a non-Engligh language version of a 2007 Office suite. Examine the other language ID folders for the correct &quot;Building Blocks.dotx&quot; template. For example, if the Spanish (Traditional) version of a 2007 Office suite is installed, examine the 1034 folder.
