Start Word, go to Tools > Options > File Locations, and look at the
path listed as the User Templates item. (Because the dialog is too
narrow, you may have to select the item, click Modify, and look at the
path in the resulting dialog, but then Cancel to avoid changing it.)

If you accepted the defaults during installation, the path will be
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.

Because the Application Data folder is usually a hidden folder, you'll
have to go into Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View,
and select "Show hidden files and folders" to be able to see the
Templates folder in Explorer or in any of the Save or Open dialogs in
Word.
