The DOCM .DOCM file extension, also known as a Word Open XML Macro-Enabled Document, is a Microsoft Word document that is used widely across the world for creating and editing text documents. It includes the application’s proprietary file formatting and document structuring codes, allowing users to easily format their documents intuitively. Additionally, the DOCM provides the user with built-in security programming so authors can ensure their content is kept safe.
Advanced Features of DOCM
The DOCM differs from the standard.DOCX format in several ways. As well as the improved security features, the DOCM allows for macros and other scripts to be embedded inside the document. Macros enabled in these files can automate repetitive processes such as calculations or data manipulation, making DOCMs invaluable for managing large amounts of data and calculations. The macros will only execute when opened in a package such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice, presenting itself securely within the internal architecture of the software and never executing on the server or computer in any way.
Similar File Extensions
Similar document formats include .DOCX, .DOTX, .DOX, .DOC, .DOT, and .DTM.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DOCM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DOCM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DOCM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DOCM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DOCM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DOCM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DOCM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DOCM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DOCM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DOCM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
