Why to Convert
There are many reasons to convert a DOTM file to MHTML. One reason is that MHTML is a more widely used format. MHTML, or web archive format, is a single file format that combines HTML and images into one file. This can be helpful when you want to save a web page or email for later viewing. MHTML files are often used for archiving web pages and emails.
Another reason to convert a DOTM file to MHTML is that MHTML files are smaller in size than DOTM files. This can be helpful if you want to save space on your computer or email attachments. MHTML files are also more likely to be compatible with different browsers and email clients than DOTM files.
