TEX at a glance
TEX
Convert to TEX when the destination workflow expects source for LaTeX or TeX-based publishing rather than a finished office document.
It is the right target for papers, theses, technical manuals, books, and any content that will be typeset with strong control over equations, references, and print layout.
Use TEX when structured source and compile-time publishing matter more than immediate WYSIWYG 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.
