DOT
A DOT file is a legacy Word template (Word 97-2003): a starting layout with styles and fonts that new documents are built from. Converting it gives you the text and formatting as a normal document.
Used in: Legacy Word templates · Old company letterheads
DOCX
A DOCX file is the modern Microsoft Word format — an editable document with text, formatting, images, and tables. It's the default for writing, editing, and collaborating on documents today.
Used in: Word processing · Collaborative editing · Office documents
