From user daveewing :
Many thanks to rirusstek2 for this common error fix. I followed the instruction below and in the address spot ("MY Computer" in start menu- C-drive, for <user name> I used <administrator> which was my current User Name. I found at the end of the string a file called "1033" which when opened had a word icon with "Building Blocks" after it. I had one of those "ghost" copy files with the word icon (half contrast therefore the "ghost" title line was presaged with "~$". When found in Word file, this seems to always be a corrupted copy error which can be deleted. You can try open these but I never found one that had any intelligible data in it.
I deleted the "ghost" file and restarted word, still no page building block. Repeated deleting the only other "building Blocks file which left file "1033" empty. When I restarted Word again, I got back my (functioning) greatly missed page numbering file! As well the word icon with "Building Blocks" file showed up again in my search string when I opened "1033".
This was my string to find this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033
There will likely be some differences in your application to sort out but this worked for me. This happens to me a lot and I lose the fix as often(more than one way to skin this one but this is the easiest way I've found)!
I'm going to make a "Word" file in my personal data with this communique in it before I forget it- in the next 5 minutes!

1.. Close Word.
2.. Go to your user building blocks directory (\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks on
Windows XP, \users\<user name>\app data\roaming\\Microsoft\Document Building
Blocks).
3.. Go into any subdirectories and delete your Building Blocks.dotx
file.
4.. Reboot Word will regenerate the file for you.
Note If you had saved any building blocks into your Building
Blocks.dotx file you should be OK.
