However, after closing Word and then opening a new blank document, what was displayed in Word after opening built-in bb.dotx is no longer available.

I have also deleted the normal.dotm template with no results other than its regeneration upon opening Word again. And I have opened normal.dotm as you suggest but didn't find anything.
When you opened normal.dotx using the vba editor and didn't find anything, that tells me that the other file you looked at is not the normal.dotm file being used by Word as its base template.

In Word 2010 the file that holds these items is Built-In Building Blocks.dotx. You need to rename the one in your roaming profile, not the one in the Programs folder. This has to be done when Word is closed.
