Files with DOTX extension are templates files created by Microsoft Word word processing software. DOTX file contain document settings and page layouts, including macros, styles, Autotext and toolbar settings.
ABW is the default file format used by a AbiWord word processor for saving created documents. ABW files store document data and related elements such as text formatting, page layout, lists, images, diagrams, tables, etc.
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 DOTX file after converting to ABW may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DOTX to ABW 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 DOTX to ABW does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DOTX format, properly converted to a ABW file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DOTX the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DOTX file to other than ABW. 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 DOTX file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to ABW 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 DOTX file in its original format (without conversion to ABW file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
