What is DOTM file format?

The DOTM file format is a file format developed by Microsoft to be used in conjunction with the Office Open XML file formats. The DOTM file format is not compatible with other Office formats such as DOCX and PPTX, so it needs to be converted before it can be used. The DOTM file format contains documents, templates, and macros that can be used to automate tasks within Microsoft Office applications. It is used to store information that is shared between Office applications. The DOTM file format was introduced in the Office 2007 and the later releases of the Office suite. With DOTM files, users can create a template, add macros to it, and save it for use in any Office application. This allows for quick and easy sharing of data across multiple applications. Furthermore, it also ensures that all Office applications can access the same data, making it easier to collaborate on projects. The DOTM file format is useful for quickly creating templates and macros that can be used across multiple Office applications. It also allows users to store data securely, making sure that only authorized personnel can access it. Finally, it helps to ensure that users can quickly and easily share data across different Office applications.

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.
