CategoryDocument File
DescriptionDOCX is an MS Office text format of new generation (starting from 2007 versions). It is a more open, more standardized version that allows various apps get easier access to data stored in Word files. DOCX files are lighter in size than DOC analogues due to a new, XML-based file structure. As opposite to DOC, a corrupted DOCX file still can be opened, and undamaged data still can be read and edited. Older Word versions can work with DOCX, if a free compatibility pack is installed and setup.

DOTX to DOCX Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is the difference between DOTX and DOCX?

Both are Office Open XML formats stored as ZIP archives with essentially the same XML structure. DOTX is a Word Template file — its [Content_Types].xml declares it as a template type, and double-clicking it in Windows creates a new document based on it rather than opening the template for editing. DOCX is a regular Word Document. Converting DOTX to DOCX changes the content type declaration so the file opens as an editable document rather than spawning a new copy.

What is preserved when converting DOTX to DOCX?

Everything. Because DOTX and DOCX share the same underlying XML structure, the conversion is essentially a content type swap. All styles, paragraph formatting, character formatting, headers and footers, page margins, numbering definitions, tables, images, placeholder text, and building blocks defined in the template are preserved exactly in the DOCX output.

Can I edit the DOTX content directly after converting to DOCX?

Yes. That is the primary purpose of the conversion. A DOTX file opened in Word starts a new document from the template; to edit the template itself you normally use Open dialog rather than double-click. Converting to DOCX gives you a regular editable file where all the template content is directly accessible without the "new document from template" behavior.

What happens to macro-enabled templates (DOTM) if I convert them with this tool?

This converter is designed for DOTX (macro-free templates). If your template is a DOTM (macro-enabled), the conversion produces a DOCX output and the VBA macros are stripped, producing the same result as DOCM-to-DOCX conversion. If macro preservation matters, note that the desktop Total Doc Converter handles both DOTX and DOTM inputs.

What is the file size limit for the online converter?

The online converter accepts DOTX files up to 50 MB. Word templates are typically small — 20 KB to 2 MB — because they contain structure and styles rather than large amounts of content. Templates with many embedded images or background graphics can be larger. For files above 50 MB, use the desktop Total Doc Converter.

How do I batch convert many DOTX templates to DOCX?

The online tool converts one file at a time. For bulk conversion, use the desktop Total Doc Converter: TotalDocConverter.exe C:\Templates\*.dotx /docx /out C:\Documents\. This is useful when migrating a template library to a document archive — for example, converting all corporate letterhead and form templates to editable DOCX documents for a document management system.
