- Description
- 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.
- 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.
