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.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
