I accidentally saved a .docm
as .dotm
, and now when I want to edit the document it opens as a new template with all the original macros stripped out. How to convert back from .dotm
to .docm
?
Renaming the file extension doesn't work.
In Windows Explorer, right-click the *.dotm file and select Open
.
From within Word, use the File > Open dialog to open the *.dotm file.
Then use Save As command to save it as a *.docm. Once you've established that everything works as expected, you can delete the rogue *.dotm.
File
->Open
dialog, rather than just double-clicking on it.
