- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
