The .dat file type is a data file in the Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF). This file type is commonly used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange to encode email attachments, and contains the message body, subject, and other email properties.
A DOTM file is a Word Open XML Macro-Enabled Document Template used by Microsoft Word, part of the Microsoft Office suite. It is a template file that contains default layouts and settings for a document, including macros, which are small programs that automate repetitive tasks. Unlike standard Word templates (.dotx), which do not support macros, DOTM files enable users to include custom macros that can be executed within the document. This feature is particularly useful for creating standardized documents that require specific automated functions.
