Default Tried to attach quick parts building block to my template but lost it altogether

How do I find where by building block template went?

When I tried to copy my Word 2016 template to my wife's PC, the QuickParts building block did not migrate.

So I went to my (word2016)>Insert>QuickParts>BuildingBlocksOrganiz er, scrolled to my building block (named "aPartialWaiver") and found that the "Save In:" was "Building Blocks.docx". Clicking the dropdown showed, in addition to Building Blocks.docx and normal.dotm, the name of my template (WaiverWorksheetV09.dotm)

So, after backing up my WaiverWorksheetV09.dotm, I went back and selected the WaiverWorksheetV09.dotm from the Building Blocks manager for my "aPartialWaiver" building block.

The WaiverWorksheetV09.dotm then obviously failed on
Code:
     "C:\Users\" & Environ("username") & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\16\Building Blocks.dotx"
But replacing the statement with
Code:
     "C:\Users\" & Environ("username") & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\16\WaiverWorksheetV09.dotm"
failed as well.


And now, my aPartialWaiver building block doesn't show up in the Building Blocks Manager at all. Gone.

And, of course, backing up my document before changing the Building Blocks turned out to be pointless.

Where can I find where the "aPartialWaiver" template went? (And how can I get all of the relevant Building Blocks to migrate to my wife's machine?)
