RW2 at a glance

RW2

Convert to RW2 when preserving Panasonic camera originals or maintaining a Lumix-based raw workflow.

It is useful for archive retention and non-destructive editing.

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.
