Hi Don,
MS Office 2007 has a new 'document parts' feature.
MS Office 2007 ships with and installs a prefilled 'Building Blocks.DotX' file as one of the Office 2007 'Document Parts' feature.
The master (or default) 'Building Blocks.dotx' is stored in the Program Files folder for Microsoft Office 2007, by locale (language
+ localization) ID. (U.S. English, for example is Locale ID 1033)
If you had installed Microsoft Office 2007 in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
then the U.S. English 'Building blocks.dotx' master copy would be in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\Document Parts\1033\
When you start one of the Office 2007 apps the first time the program checks the currently logged in users %appdata% folder location
(that you referenced below) for a 'Building Blocks.dotx' (or if it has been renamed, for the renamed file). If Office 2007 does not
find a Building Blocks.dotx file in the %appdata% area, it copies the 'master' one over from the Program Files folder for Office
2007 to restore the gallery samples.
For the Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical refresh, the installation updated the Master copy, but since there was still a 'user area' file
of the older version it couldn't replace it without asking. The user copy in the %appdata% area gets updated when you add a gallery
or autotext or other document part to it, so when you delete the %appdata% copy you will lose any customizations that you had in it,
but you will get the Office 2007 Technical Refresh updated gallery styles sample set when the new file is copied over.
In this case, if you have just started an Office app after recycling the %appdata% copy of 'building blocks.dotx' if you look at the
file in Windows Explorer or in Start=>Search then the dates of both files should be the same.
It's a good idea to backup your personalized 'Building Blocks.dotx' file periodically for safety purposes.

Thanks, heres is what happened.
I paste this into the search box %appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building
Block. It returns the result document building blocks>1033. I opened the
1033 folder and delete Building Blocks.dotx. Then I paste
%appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Block again now there are two Document
Building Block folders. One with capitals one with lower case, both are
empty. Is the Building Block.dotx supposed to be recreated when I open Word
or Outlook?
