- 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 XPS file is a document that contains fixed page layout information written in the XPS page description language. It defines the layout, appearance, and printing information for a document. XPS files are similar to .PDF files, but saved in Microsoft’s proprietary XPS format.
