Convert POT to PPTM

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.

PPTM stands for PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation, a file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations that include macros. These files enhance functionality by allowing automation of repetitive tasks through embedded scripts written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Introduced with Microsoft Office 2007, the PPTM format evolved from the PPTX format, incorporating macro capabilities while maintaining the XML-based structure. Its primary use is in environments requiring advanced automation and customization features, making it indispensable for professionals seeking efficient workflow management in presentations.
