What is POTM file format?

A POTM file refers to a macro-enabled presentation template created using Microsoft PowerPoint, a software program used for creating slide show presentations. It includes default images, slide templates, macros, and formatting. POTM files are commonly used by PowerPoint users to create multiple .PPTM files with consistent designs and macro settings.

POTM files offer additional functionality compared to typical presentation files, as they support macros. Macros are script-like functions that automate repetitive tasks within PowerPoint. Users can record macros that can be replayed to perform specific actions and assign them to buttons or keystrokes for convenient execution. To record a macro, users can select View → Macros in PowerPoint.

For general presentation creation, users can save their files as .PPTX or .POTX files. However, if they want to create a template that incorporates macros, they can save their presentation as a POTM file.

It’s worth noting that POTM files were introduced by Microsoft when they released Microsoft Office 2007.

To open a POTM file, Microsoft PowerPoint (2007 or later) is the recommended application for full support of presentation formatting and embedded macros on both Windows and macOS. Alternative applications like Apache OpenOffice Impress, Kingsoft Presentation, and Apple Keynote can also open POTM files, but some formatting and macros may not be fully preserved. For Mac users looking to view a POTM file without editing, Apple Preview (bundled with macOS) or Google Drive, a free cloud storage service, can be used.

Online platforms like Google Slides allow users to upload POTM files for viewing, editing, and conversion. However, it’s important to note that Google Slides does not support macros.

To convert a POTM file, various presentation applications including Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, and OpenOffice Impress offer conversion capabilities. In Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows and Mac, users can select File → Save As and choose from formats such as .PPTX, .PPT, .PDF, .ODP, .XPS, .MP4, .WMV, .JPEG, and .PNG to convert the POTM file to their desired format.

What is DOTX file format?

DOTX is a Microsoft Office Open XML document template file format used by programs such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. The DOTX file type was introduced with Microsoft Office 2007 and is part of the Open XML standards utilized by Microsoft Office. It is a general template file format that contains the general formats and styles for a specific document like font size, margins, and page layout, but does not contain any actual content yet. DOTX files are analogous to DOT files, with the exception that DOTX files use the newer Open XML syntax. To open a DOTX file, any Microsoft Office application supporting the Open XML file format should work. These files can also be opened with other applications that support the Open XML standard, as well as with programs such as LibreOffice and OpenOffice. The DOTX file format is useful for creating standardized documents that can be quickly edited and reused. It also serves as a great base for creating multiple documents that need to follow the same formatting and design. DOTX files can be used not only for Microsoft Office documents, but also for other applications such as Adobe InDesign.
