Convert DOC (Word) to DOCM

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

The DOCM file extension represents a Microsoft Word Macro-Enabled Document. This format allows users to embed macros, which are automated scripts that enhance productivity by automating repetitive tasks. Introduced with Microsoft Office 2007, DOCM files provide advanced functionality over the standard DOCX format by supporting macro operations. They are widely used in various professional environments to streamline complex document processes efficiently.
