Reverse conversion

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.

DCR at a glance

DCR

Convert to DCR when preserving compatibility with an older camera-specific raw workflow or recovering legacy photographic originals.

In current practice it is mainly an archival and migration target.
