- Description
- 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.
- An ODT file is a text document created by various word processors, such as the Writer program included in Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. It contains different elements such as text, images, drawn objects, and styles. ODT files are formatted using the OASIS OpenDocument XML-based standard.
