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.

Rich Text Format (RTF) is a document format Microsoft created so that formatted text could move between different word processors and operating systems. An RTF file is plain text with formatting written as readable control codes, so bold, italics, fonts, colours, tables, and images survive the journey while the file stays open and inspectable. That universality made RTF the safe middle ground for decades, and virtually every word processor ever written can read it.
RTF opens with no extra software on any system: WordPad and Word on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and LibreOffice or Google Docs everywhere else.
Because the format is plain text underneath, you can also open an RTF in any text editor to inspect its markup directly. Microsoft stopped developing RTF in 2008, and it does not support modern features such as tracked changes or comments, so convert important documents with our RTF to DOCX tool.
