- The POTX file format is a template file used by Microsoft PowerPoint, a well-known presentation software. As part of the Open XML file format family introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, POTX files are used for creating multiple presentations with a similar layout, style, and formatting, ensuring consistency across documents. These templates can include predefined slide backgrounds, fonts, color schemes, and layouts. Users can create new presentations based on these templates, which allows for efficient creation of visually cohesive and professionally styled presentations.
- A POTM file is a macro-enabled presentation template created by Microsoft PowerPoint, a program used for creating slide show presentations. It contains default images, slide templates, macros, and formatting. POTM files are used to create multiple .PPTM files with the same formatting and macro settings.
