In ICT (Information and Communication Technology), "doc" typically stands for "document." It commonly refers to file formats like .doc or .docx, which are associated with Microsoft Word documents. These formats are used for creating, editing, and sharing text-based information.
the Microsoft word files are called document
Templates (.dot) are identical to Word (.doc) files but all of the formatting in them applies to the current document. In Word, if you create a New file and use the default then it has the normal.dot file formats. Some templates have Visual Basic macros to help you fill out the document e.g. your company name in a fax template.

Prior to Microsoft Office 2007 the native file formats for word documents were .DOC, with the templates using .DOT. You can still save in these file formats with newer versions of Office, but you can lose some of the formatting used in a newer document that was not supported on legacy versions.
