IBOOKS at a glance

IBOOKS

Convert to IBOOKS when the destination is Apple Books or an Apple-focused ebook workflow that benefits from Apple's packaging and reading environment.

It is useful for education, illustrated content, and Apple-first publishing strategies.

For a more portable source or exchange format, EPUB is generally the better foundation.

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.
