Questions & Answers
DOT documents: Frequently Asked Questions
What are DOT files?
DOT is the binary template format that Word used in the versions from 97 to 2003, officially named Word 97-2003 Template. It has the same internal structure as the DOC format, the OLE Compound File Binary container with separate streams for the text and the formatting, and the difference lies in its role: a template holds the styles, the page setup, the headers, the AutoText entries, and any macros that should be available in the documents created from it. The default template of old Word versions, Normal.dot, is a file of this type, and all new blank documents were based on it. DOT templates can also hold VBA macros, since the legacy format does not have a separate extension for them, and a password can be set on them. In Word 2007 and later, the format was replaced by DOTX for templates without macros and DOTM for templates with macros. The media type is application/msword. Supported by Microsoft Word.
