A DOTX file is a Microsoft Word template file used to create new documents with predefined design, layout, and styles. DOTX files store settings like headers, footers, font sizes, page margins to duplicate DOCX documents. Using templates frees users from repetitive work when generating similar documents.
Word is the best choice for opening DOTX files because it fully supports the formatting. DOTX files can also be opened in Pages, LibreOffice Writer, and converted to other formats in Word.
DOTX file extension relates to Word 2007 and newer versions. The .dotx file type helps quickly create multiple documents with identical layouts and content like invoices and standardized forms. It is saved in Office Open XML format.
Other office software supporting .DOTX files includes LibreOffice. DOTX files store data in XML format for easier editing. To open .DOTX files, suitable software supporting this format needs to be installed. Lacking this software is the most common reason for failing to launch DOTX files.
