Default Normal.Dot Installed Path
You can remove installed templates by starting the Office 2003 installation program and then by setting the template group to Installed on First Use. This effectively removes the templates from the computer, and they again become advertised templates. By default, all Microsoft Office installed templates are installed to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Language ID Number
Note The language ID number is a four-digit code representing the language types currently installed. For example, the English (US) version of Office 2003 installs a "1033" folder, the Arabic version installs a "1025" folder, and the German version installs a "1031" folder. Office 2003 supports many other languages, and you can have multiple languages installed at the same time. Therefore, you may have a Templates folder that contains several of these language ID folders.
