| Microsoft Word 2007 Or Word 2010 XML Document Template Format | Microsoft | Text Files |
The DOTX (Word .dotx Open XML Document Template) file extension is designed to work with Microsoft Word documents. This data format is a database-standard mark-up language, encoded into binary format that enables programs like Microsoft Word to access and display a wide variety of information.
Description
The DOTX file type is the default template format used in Office Open XML. It is based on XML, and.dotx denotes that a document was created using the 2007 version or later of Microsoft Office. This file type contains all elements that are essential for Word documents: font, color, graphics, macros, headers and footers, page orientation, page sizes, text boxes, and files relating to behind the scenes settings.
Supported Software
DOTX files can be opened by any products which are compatible with the Office Open XML scheme. This includes many third party applications such as OpenOffice, as well as web-based services such as Google Docs. Microsoft Office 2007 documents saved in this format can also be opened by older versions of Word (97-2003) using the Office Compatibility Pack.
Similar File Extensions
This file type is associated with other related formats, including DOTM ( .dotm) which is used for macro-enabled templates, and DOCM ( .docm) which is used for documents containing macros.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DOTX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DOTX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DOTX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DOTX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DOTX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DOTX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DOTX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DOTX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DOTX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DOTX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
