- Description
- The dot file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a popular word processing software developed by Microsoft. Specifically, a dot file is a Word Document Template, which serves as a blueprint for creating multiple documents with a similar format, layout, and structure. These templates can include predefined styles, formatting, text, and even images that can be used to create new documents with a consistent look and feel, saving time and ensuring uniformity across documents for personal, educational, or business purposes.
- FODT (Flat XML ODF Text Document) is a file type used for documents created in OpenDocument text editors, such as LibreOffice Writer. FODT files are based on the OASIS Open Document Format (ODF) and store text-based documents that also contain formatting and layout information. They can be opened in compatible text editors and other programs, such as Microsoft Word.
