Frequently asked questions
How faithful is the conversion?
Fidelity is high because DOTX shares the same Office Open XML basis as DOCX. Styles, page setup and text map across closely; what changes is the document's role, not its formatting.
Why convert `DOCX` to `DOTX`?
DOTX is a template, so converting a document into one makes a reusable master whose styles, layout and boilerplate are inherited by every new document created from it.
Where does a `DOTX` file open?
DOTX opens in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and compatible web editors. Double-clicking it creates a new document from the template rather than editing the template.
Can a `DOTX` contain macros?
No. DOTX is macro-free by definition and stores only styles, layout and content, which makes it safer than the macro-enabled .dotm or the legacy binary .dot.
