DescriptionDOCX is a file format used by Microsoft Word to store documents. DOCM is a similar file format, but it also includes support for macros. Like the DOCX format, the DOCM format is based on the Office Open XML file format and uses a ZIP container to store the various components of the document.
Technical detailsA DOCM file can contain text, images, tables, charts, and other elements typically found in word processing documents. Furthermore, it may also include macros written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which enable the automation of repetitive tasks or the incorporation of custom functionality. DOCX and DOCM files are compatible with Microsoft Word and other word processing programs that support the Office Open XML format. However, it's important to note that macros within DOCM files may not be fully supported in all programs or may require specific security settings to be enabled in order to run properly.
