Microsoft Word Document Template - Legacy (.dot)

The DOT file extension stands for Microsoft Word Document Template. It is utilized to create standardized document formats with predefined settings such as fonts, layouts, and styles, facilitating uniformity and efficiency. Introduced with older versions of Microsoft Word, DOT files enable users to generate consistent documents across different projects, minimizing the need for repetitive formatting tasks. This legacy format was vital in establishing automated document creation processes before the evolution to newer template formats like DOTX.

Die DOT-Dateierweiterung steht für Microsoft Word Document Template. Sie wird verwendet, um standardisierte Dokumentformate mit vordefinierten Einstellungen wie Schriftarten, Layouts und Stilen zu erstellen, was Einheitlichkeit und Effizienz fördert.
