About DOT Files

A .dot file is a Microsoft Word document template. It contains a preset page layout you can use to quickly create a formatted Word document. For example, a DOT file might contain a template for creating resumes, which you can customize to create your own resume.

Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions save document templates as DOTX (.dotx) files, which are formatted differently than DOT files. To ensure you can continue using your DOT file, you may want to convert it to the DOTX format. You can also convert DOT files to the Word document (.docx), Rich Text (.rtf), and PDF (.pdf) formats. Converting to the DOCX or PDF format will preserve the file's formatting. Converting to the Rich Text Format will likely discard some formatting.
