To recover a damaged Building Blocks.dotx file, just exit Word and delete
the file. It will be recreated the next time you start Word. Observe that
you should *only* delete the Building Blocks.dotx file found in your user
profile (not the one in the Program Files folder).


This just happened again. You instructions must have worked back in
December. This time, I only seem to have one Building Blocks.dotx.
It's in this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033

It is OK to delete (or rename) that one?


Yes, that is the correct file.


For the graphics issue, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/I...leGraphics.htm.


Is this problem (graphics displaing as white boxes) related to the
damaged file?


I can't imagine that these issues could be related.
