DOT at a glance
DOT
Convert to DOT when the destination requires a classic Word template rather than a normal document, especially in environments that still generate files from legacy template libraries.
It is useful for preserving institutional forms, old stationery templates, and inherited document-assembly assets.
For modern Word template workflows, DOTX or DOTM are usually preferable.
JPS at a glance
JPS
Convert to JPS when preserving stereoscopic photo pairs, preparing side-by-side 3D images for compatible viewers, or maintaining archives from cameras and displays that used the JPEG Stereo convention.
It is mainly useful for legacy stereoscopic-image exchange rather than mainstream still-image publishing.

What should I review after converting DOT to JPS?
Check the exported file for Not a rich or broadly standardized 3D still-image format.; Receiving software often needs explicit stereoscopic awareness to do the right thing.; Usually less flexible than newer multi-image or depth-aware approaches..
