Default Sharing Quick Parts

As you can imagine, Word has a whole bunch of folders and files that it uses.

All the quick parts are stored in a file named "building blocks.dotx" (if I
remember correctly; don't have 2007 handy). This file exists in a specific
folder, which is usually part of the person's profile.
If you do a Search for building blocks (or variations of the name, in case I
don't remember correctly) on your PC, you should find the file, and be able
to see the path to where the file is stored.
It will probably be something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data
Administrator is the user name.
Every username on a PC has it's own set of folders: go take a look on yours.

Once you find building blocks.dotx (or whatever it is named), you (or they)
can copy that file to your collegues' corresponding folder.

I created a document using quick parts, but when I go to distribute it to my
department, their systems don't have the quick parts in the documents
building blocks. How can I move the quick parts with document. I would
rather put it on a shared drive, but that doesn't work either.

I saw this in another thread:
"The easiest way is to add a renamed copy of the file to the user's Document
Building Blocks folder. (It is also possible to add the file to the Startup
folder, of course.) "

But, I don't understand the action. Rename what file? Put "the file" in
what start-up? Windows, Office, Word? And how?
