What is an XLTM file?
The XLTM file is a macro-enabled template format introduced with Microsoft Office 2007, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) architecture. It combines the templating functionality of XLTX with the ability to store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros (contained in a vbaProject.bin part within the ZIP container). This format allows organizations to deploy standardized spreadsheets that include automation scripts, while preventing users from modifying the base template file.
How to open an XLTM file
Microsoft Excel is the primary application for creating and executing XLTM files with full VBA support. While LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice can open XLTM templates, they may not execute proprietary VBA macros correctly. Mobile versions of Office and web-based viewers typically allow viewing the template structure but disable macro execution for security reasons.

What is an XLTX file?
The XLTX format is the standard, macro-free template file for Microsoft Excel 2007 and later, adhering to the ISO/IEC 29500 OOXML standard. It uses a ZIP-compressed directory of XML text files to define spreadsheet layouts, styles, and formulas. Unlike XLTM, the XLTX specification explicitly forbids the storage of VBA code, ensuring that templates remain secure and free of macro-based viruses when distributed across enterprise networks.
How to open an XLTX file
XLTX files open natively in Microsoft Excel 2007 and newer on Windows and macOS. When opened, the software creates a new, untitled workbook based on the template rather than editing the XLTX file directly. Compatibility extends to LibreOffice Calc, Apache OpenOffice, and PlanMaker, allowing for cross-platform template usage without requiring the Microsoft Office suite.
