| Technical details | XLTX files are Excel template files used to create new Excel workbooks with a predefined structure and formatting. They serve as starting points for new Excel documents, providing consistency in layout, design, and data structure across multiple workbooks.
XLTX files are based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) file format, which is a standardized XML-based file format used by Microsoft Office applications, including Excel. OOXML is a ZIP-based format that packages XML files, media assets, and other resources into a single archive file.
XLTX files contain a combination of XML markup, stylesheets, and other resources that define the layout, formatting, and content placeholders for the template. They may include predefined worksheets, charts, tables, formulas, cell styles, and other elements commonly used in Excel workbooks.
XLTX files are compatible with Microsoft Excel versions 2007 and later, as well as other spreadsheet programs that support the OOXML file format. They can be opened, edited, and saved using Excel and other compatible software applications. |
