A dotm file extension relates to Microsoft Word 2007 and later. It stores an Open XML macro-enabled document template. You can open dotm files in Word. You can also save a dotm file as a regular .docx document.
The dotm file format has the same structure as docx files, based on the Office OpenXML format. You can view the contents of a dotm file by renaming it to .zip and opening the archive. The MS-DOCX specifications define details of the docx and dotm file formats.
You may be unable to open a dotm file if the application you use does not support the latest version of the format. Corruption of the file or viruses can also cause opening issues. To fix this, update your software and scan for viruses. When opened, dotm files use macros and formatting stored in the template to create new Word documents.
