DOCM at a glance
DOCM
Convert to DOCM when the output must retain or deliver Word macro functionality, such as automated forms, button-driven templates, mail-merge helpers, or internal workflow documents with embedded VBA.
It is appropriate only when the recipient environment expects macro-enabled Word files and can handle the associated trust model.
If macros are not needed, DOCX is the safer and more portable choice.
ALAC at a glance
ALAC
Convert to ALAC when you need lossless music storage or delivery in an Apple-friendly format, especially for personal libraries, hi-fi playback, or archives that sync across Apple devices.
It is appropriate when quality must be preserved but uncompressed AIFF or WAV would be unnecessarily large.
For broader non-Apple-centric archival exchange, FLAC is often the more neutral choice.
