DOT files are used by Microsoft Word word processor versions 97 to 2003. What do DOT files contain? Files with DOT extension store document templates. Templates define text formatting and other document elements, including footers or formal headers.
A .DOCM file is a macro-enabled file that is created using the Microsoft Word application introduced in the Microsoft Office 2007 version. The DOCM file is similar to DOCX file, and the DOCM file contains embedded repetitive tasks that can be executed in the Word document file.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DOT file after converting to DOCM may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DOT to DOCM to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DOT to DOCM does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DOT format, properly converted to a DOCM file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DOT the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DOT file to other than DOCM. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DOT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to DOCM on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DOT file in its original format (without conversion to DOCM file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
