Word Macro-Enabled Document (DOCM) is a Microsoft Word document that is allowed to contain VBA macros — small programs that automate tasks such as formatting, filling in fields, or generating reports. It is otherwise identical to DOCX: the same ZIP-based Open XML package, with an extra part holding the macro code. Microsoft created the separate extension deliberately, so that a file’s name reveals whether it can run code.
Microsoft Word opens DOCM and shows a security warning before enabling macros. Only click Enable Content if you trust the sender — macro-enabled documents are a common malware vector.
LibreOffice Writer opens DOCM files and displays the text normally, although VBA macros may not run correctly. To read a document safely without any macro risk, save or convert it to PDF, or re-save it as plain DOCX, which strips the code entirely. You can also convert the file with our DOCM to PDF tool.

Plain Text (TXT) is the simplest document format there is: nothing but characters, with no fonts, colours, images, or layout information of any kind. What a TXT file does carry is a character encoding — today almost always UTF-8 — which determines how the bytes map to letters. Because there is no hidden structure, TXT is the most portable and durable format available, readable on every computer ever made.
Every operating system opens TXT out of the box: Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit or nano on Linux. Web browsers display them too.
For large files or code, a proper editor such as Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text is much faster and lets you change the encoding if the text appears garbled. Odd symbols usually mean the file was saved in a different encoding than the one your editor assumed. To hand a plain-text document to someone in a formatted form, use our TXT to PDF tool.
