Where are Microsoft Office for Mac My Templates stored?
In the english version of Word and PowerPoint 2011, templates are stored inside your home folder in:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates
In other languages, the User Templates/My Templates part is localized (e.g.
Benutzervorlagen/Eigene Vorlagen/ in german).
The Library folder is hidden in Lion, but you can go there by holding down Opt/Alt while clicking the Go menu in the Finder, then selecting Library.
Convert
To convert Word to PDF, try http://www.doc2pdf.net/. It works very nicely. I also tried loading a document into Microsoft Live, but to print the document you need Microsoft Word!

Remove all formatting
In Microsoft Word you can remove all formatting not associated with the current style like this:
For a single word place the cursor in that word and hit Ctrl-Spacebar
For a paragraph place the cursor in that paragraph and hit Ctrl-Q (I am not sure this one works)!
