   - //Report// – the document template represents a report. This type is different from other types of the document templates in the way //**AwareIM**// handles it when it creates a document from a document template – see [[docs:2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports|Reports]].
   - //Text document //– the document template represents an ASCII text.
-  - //MS Excel document //– the document template represents a Microsoft Excel file (.XLS).
+  - //MS Excel document //– the document template represents a Microsoft Excel file (.XLSX).
-  - //MS Word document //– the document template represents a Microsoft Word file (.doc) – this document type is not available under Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.
+  - //MS Word document //– the document template represents a Microsoft Word file (.docx).
-  - //MS Word document (XML format)//
+  - //MS Word document (XML format)// the document template represents an MS Word document saved in the XML format.
-    - this document type represents an MS Word document saved in the XML format. It can be used as a replacement for MS Word documents on Linux and Mac OS X operating systems if an AwareIM server is running on the above platform and the client browsers are running on the Windows platform. In this case the XML file will be displayed in the browser properly using MS Word.
   - //HTML document //– the document template represents an HTML file.
 In addition to the pre-defined types it is possible to plug-in custom types – see [[docs:3500|Programmers Reference Guide]].
-<callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note"> If a document type is not supported on a particular platform it is possible to define an alternative document that //**AwareIM**// will automatically use instead of the original document on the unsupported platform. The alternative document must have the same name as the original document followed by the suffix //Alternative//. For example, if we defined the document OutgoingLetter of the MS-Word type (not supported on non-Windows platforms) and we want the configured application to work both on Windows and non-Windows platforms we can define the alternative document //OutgoingLetterAlternative// in the format supported on this platform (for example, plain text). We can define more than one alternative document for different platforms, for example //OutgoingLetterAlternative//Mac etc.</callout>

 ====Import====
-Importing a layout of a document template can be useful if you want to re-use the same layout in a different document template. Layouts of reports can also be re-used in presentations of business objects and business object groups – see [[docs:2500_config_apps:0500_add_edit_objects:0300_define_presentations|Defining Presentations]]. To import the existing layout of the document template click on the {{docs:icons:icon_import.png?nolink&20}} icon at the top of the editor. Depending on the type of the document template either the File Selection Dialog or the Directory Selection dialog will be displayed. Specify the name of the import file or the directory that contains the single layout file of the appropriate type and any resources (such as images).
