What is an HWP file?
The HWP format is a proprietary document file generated by Hancom Office Hangul, the dominant word processing software in South Korea, widely used by government and public institutions. Older versions rely on a compound binary file structure (OLE2) similar to early Microsoft Word DOC files, while distinct encoding mechanisms are used to support the Korean alphabet (Hangul). The format is distinct from the newer XML-based HWPX and often requires specific conversion libraries for interoperability outside the Hancom ecosystem.
How to open an HWP file
Native support is restricted to Hancom Office (Windows/macOS/Linux) and the free Hancom Office Viewer. For users without this software, Hancom provides a cloud-based web viewer called Hancom Docs. Third-party support is limited; however, LibreOffice (via libhwp) offers partial rendering capabilities, and the Naver Whale browser includes a built-in extension for viewing HWP files directly.

What is a DOTX file?
A DOTX file is a template created by Microsoft Word 2007 and later, adhering to the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard standardized by ISO/IEC 29500. It serves as a non-macro-enabled baseline for generating .DOCX documents, containing pre-defined layouts, styles, fonts, and images. The format functions as a ZIP-compressed package of XML files. Crucially, DOTX files explicitly restrict the storage of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code; any attempt to save macros results in a forced conversion to the DOTM format.
How to open a DOTX file
Microsoft Word is the standard application for editing DOTX templates. Because the format is an open standard (OOXML), it enjoys broad compatibility across third-party platforms. macOS users can utilize Apple Pages (which imports DOTX formatting), while Linux and Windows users can rely on LibreOffice Writer or SoftMaker FreeOffice. Cloud-based platforms like Google Workspace also support native import and conversion of DOTX templates.
