Word 97-2003 Template (DOT) is the template format used by Microsoft Word before the 2007 release. A template acts as a blueprint: it stores styles, page layout, fonts, boilerplate text, and any macros, and opening one creates a fresh document based on those settings rather than editing the template itself. Organisations use DOT files for letterheads, invoices, contracts, and report formats so that every document starts out consistent.
How to open a DOT file?
Double-clicking a DOT in Windows creates a new document from it in Microsoft Word. To edit the template itself, open Word first and use File → Open, then select the DOT file.
LibreOffice Writer also reads DOT templates. Bear in mind that DOT files can contain macros, so only open ones from sources you trust. The modern equivalents are DOTX for a plain template and DOTM for a macro-enabled one, and Word will convert a DOT to either. You can also convert the file with our DOT to PDF tool.

OpenDocument Text (ODT) is the word-processing format of the OpenDocument standard, the default in LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. An ODT is a ZIP package containing XML for the text and styles plus any embedded images. Because the specification is published as ISO/IEC 26300 and controlled by no single vendor, ODT is widely used by governments and public institutions that need documents to stay readable for decades.
How to open an ODT file?
LibreOffice Writer is the natural application for ODT, since it implements the standard in full.
You do not need it, though: Microsoft Word has opened and saved ODT since 2009, Google Docs imports it, and Apache OpenOffice Writer handles it natively. Complex layouts can shift a little when moving between suites, so convert the file with our ODT to PDF tool when exact formatting matters.
