C:\Documents and Settings\OWNER\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
This is where your Word template normal.dot is located... replace "OWNER" with the name for YOUR UserID in XP. I also keep my personal user created templates there. While in a Word document, see Tools - Options - File Locations (tab) for info on where things are stored - you can change the storage locations here, if you wish.
On my PC, there are also specialty templates installed with Word in.....
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033
(the "Microsoft Office" folder may be named differently on your PC - I have no idea why the "1033" folder, but that's where they are on my installation).

I looked at this program, and it seems to be designed to be located on
the drive where you have Word installed. It's only 1.8MB unzipped, so,
unless you have a tiny hard drive, or are writing another "War and
Peace", you can safely leave it on C:.
Locating folders should be easy for an old DOS guy. Use Windows Explorer
to drill down to C:\Windows\Help and copy the appropriate file. You
could do this at the windows command prompt (Copy C:\...\*.chm
C:\Windows\Help) but that's unnecessarily complicated.
You'll find the templates folder in the MS Office Folder-Probably
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates
Win (DOS?) commands can only be used at the command prompt,
(Start/Run/cmd) and are only seldom necessary for most users.
The help files will actually open without being in the help folder
(Because of the .chm extension) but the author is trying to make life
easier for you by giving you access from the Word Help menu.
