Word Open XML Template (DOTX) is the modern template format for Microsoft Word, introduced alongside DOCX in Word 2007. Like DOCX it is a ZIP package of Office Open XML parts, and it stores styles, layouts, fonts, and standard text that new documents inherit. Crucially, DOTX cannot contain macros — that is what separates it from DOTM — which makes it the safer template format to circulate.
How to open a DOTX file?
Double-click the file and Word opens a new untitled document built from the template. To change the template itself, launch Word and open the DOTX through File → Open.
LibreOffice Writer opens DOTX as well, and Google Docs can import one, though some styling may not survive. Placing a DOTX in Word’s Custom Office Templates folder makes it appear on the New screen alongside Microsoft’s built-in designs. You can also convert the file with our DOTX to PDF tool.

Initial Release: 2007
Word 97-2003 Document (DOC) is the original binary format of Microsoft Word, used as the default from the 1980s until Word 2007 replaced it with DOCX. A DOC file packs text, formatting, images, tables, and embedded objects into a single proprietary structure. Because that structure is binary rather than XML, DOC files are more prone to corruption, harder for other programs to interpret, and can carry macro-based malware.
How to open a DOC file?
Every current version of Microsoft Word still opens DOC files, usually in Compatibility Mode, and offers to convert them to the newer DOCX format.
LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, and Apple Pages all handle DOC well. Since support for this legacy format is gradually being reduced, converting your archive is sensible — our DOC to DOCX and DOC to PDF tools do it in one step.
