Format DOCM - than to open such files?

Did you find the DOCM file on your computer and you can not figure out which program should open it? Or, maybe someone sent you a DOCM file via email, but do not know how to use it? Perhaps you tried to start it by default, but the Windows prompt indicated that the system can not open it.

What are these files?

Before opening the DOCM (assuming that this is the file format that is intended to be viewed or edited), you need to determine what file types this extension refers to.

The answer does not represent any complexity: this format is a Word file Microsoft Office Open XML Document Format (macros Enabled).

Other types of data can also use the specified extension.

So, the format of DOCM - than to open it?

The easiest way to download a file with this extension is to double-click on it, and let your PC decide which applications should work with it by default. If no program opens the DOCM file by default, your application probably does not have an application that can view and / or edit the specified data type.

Microsoft Office Word (version 2007 and higher) is the main software that is used to open such files and edit them. The open-source OpenOffice editor will also represent the answer to the question of what to do with a file that has the DOCM extension.

How can I open a similar file if an earlier version of Microsoft Word is installed on your computer? You can download free Microsoft Office Compatibility, which will also allow you to edit and save DOCM files in the old version of MS Word.

If you find that the application on your computer is really trying to open a DOCM file, but does it incorrectly, you must change the program settings saved by default.

Extension of DOCM - what to open by converting?

There are two main ways to convert a DOCM file to another data type:

1. Open the DOCM file in any program installed on your device by default, and select to save the open file to a file of a different format.
2. Use a service that works online for converting, or software for such a conversion.

The first option (with the opening of the DOCM file in its "native" program) is preferable, because it is easier to do and, probably, this action will lead to more accurate file conversion. However, this does not always work with DOCM files. Than to open them when no application on the computer recognizes such files? In this case, only a third-party tool can help.

Remember that you should not just change the extension. Most likely, the computer does not recognize the newly renamed file, which will still be used as a DOCM. Than to open it correctly, it is specified more low.

As already mentioned, many can not open files with this extension, because the MS Office package installed on the devices is obsolete. Many users do not want to bother with upgrading WORD or adding some plug-ins to support new formats. Therefore, the easiest way is to simply convert DOCM to a regular DOC format (or in PDF, but this is somewhat more complicated).
