<div>
A document with the file extension <b>docx </b>is not macro enabled, to enable macros you need to use the extension <b>docm</b>.<br />
<br />
A file with the extension <b>dotm </b>is a macro enabled template.<br />

A document with the file extension docx is not macro enabled, to enable macros you need to use the extension docm.

A file with the extension dotm is a macro enabled template.

PS There's no attachment.

<div>
When creating a new document from a template, macro code is not reproduced in the new document, so code will not be saved in the document.<br />
<br />
Instead the original template becomes the 'attached' template. A reference is set, so that if the parent template can be found, the code and the styles are available to the child document. If not available, the users's Normal template will be referenced.

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
