Reverse conversion

PICT at a glance

PICT

Convert to PICT when maintaining compatibility with classic Mac graphics archives or restoring older desktop-publishing assets.

In modern workflows it is chiefly a migration format.

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.
