- 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.
- The POT file format is associated with Microsoft PowerPoint, a well-known presentation software that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. A POT file is essentially a template file that contains pre-designed layout, styles, formatting, and sometimes background images or themes that can be used to create new PowerPoint presentations (PPT files) with a consistent look and feel. It serves as a blueprint for multiple presentations, allowing users to maintain uniformity in design across various slideshows without having to start from scratch each time.
