Finding a list of Office Open XML file format MIME types

If you are implementing .NET applications that need to work with Office Open XML files, you might need to figure out the correct MIME types for your .XLSX, .DOCX and .PPTX files, and more. Today, I needed to figure out the MIME type for PowerPoint presentation files (.PPTX), and wanted to check out the MIME type.

It turns out that there's nice list on the Office Developer Blog about this.

Here's the complete table:

File extension	MIME type
.doc	application/msword
.dot	application/msword
.docx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
.dotx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template
.docm	application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12
.dotm	application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12
.xls	application/vnd.ms-excel
.xlt	application/vnd.ms-excel
.xla	application/vnd.ms-excel
.xlsx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
.xltx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template
.xlsm	application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12
.xltm	application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12
.xlam	application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12
.xlsb	application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12
.ppt	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
.pot	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
.pps	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
.ppa	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
.pptx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
.potx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template
.ppsx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow
.ppam	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12
.pptm	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12
.potm	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12
.ppsm	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12

Hope this helps!
