Microsoft PowerPoint Template - Legacy (.pot)
A POT file, short for PowerPoint Template, is a legacy file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint versions 97 through 2003. It contains default layouts, formatting, and styles for slide shows, enabling users to create multiple presentations with consistent design. Since PowerPoint 2007, the Open XML format (POTX) has replaced the older binary format, offering improved file size, security, and interoperability. Despite this, newer versions of PowerPoint can still open and save POT files.
