I am running the latest version of Windows 10, and I believe I'm having a 
unique problem.

Firstly, the user data folder doesn't appear to exist. I type in, pandoc 
--version, and then attempt to go to the user data output in that result, 
but Windows can never find the directory.

I'm trying to convert my markdown manuscript into Proper manuscript format 
as outlined here, 
<https://www.autodidacts.io/convert-markdown-to-standard-manuscript-format-odts-docs-and-pdfs-with-pandoc/> 
but pandoc keeps ignoring the reference file I put in the folder I did 
find, which was in local.

Since Pandoc keeps ignoring the reference file, I figured I'd just edit the 
existing reference file, and that is why I am, in part, trying to find the 
default, existing, reference file.

The ouput works if I manually specify the reference file, like below, but 
I'd love to not specify the reference file every time.

pandoc -s manuscript.md --reference-doc=book.docx --output manuscript.docx

so, I am looking for,

1. Find the actual user data folder because Windows is saying the one in 
pandoc --version does not exist. 

2. How to change the reference.docx file in the /.pandoc directory so the 
above can be a bit more automated.

3. How to overwrite the existing reference.docx in the /.pandoc directory 
with a new, custom-styled reference document..
