Word 97-2003 Template (DOT) is the template format used by Microsoft Word before the 2007 release. A template acts as a blueprint: it stores styles, page layout, fonts, boilerplate text, and any macros, and opening one creates a fresh document based on those settings rather than editing the template itself. Organisations use DOT files for letterheads, invoices, contracts, and report formats so that every document starts out consistent.
Double-clicking a DOT in Windows creates a new document from it in Microsoft Word. To edit the template itself, open Word first and use File → Open, then select the DOT file.
LibreOffice Writer also reads DOT templates. Bear in mind that DOT files can contain macros, so only open ones from sources you trust. The modern equivalents are DOTX for a plain template and DOTM for a macro-enabled one, and Word will convert a DOT to either. You can also convert the file with our DOT to PDF tool.

A Word file is a text document created in Microsoft Word, saved today with the .docx extension. It holds far more than plain text: paragraph and character styles, headings, tables, images, headers and footers, footnotes, comments, and tracked changes all live inside the same file. Modern Word documents are Office Open XML packages, an open published standard, which is why so many non-Microsoft programs can read them.
Microsoft Word is the obvious answer, and Word for the web views and edits documents in a browser with a Microsoft account.
If you do not have Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apple Pages all open Word files. Fonts and spacing occasionally shift between applications, so when a document must print exactly as written, convert it with our Word to PDF tool first.
