DOCM is Microsoft Word's macro-enabled document format that stores VBA macros alongside standard document content in an Open XML ZIP package. DOCX is the standard Word Open XML format that contains the same document structure and formatting but without macro support. Both formats use the same underlying ECMA-376 specification — the difference is that DOCM includes a vbaProject.bin component while DOCX does not.
Converting DOCM to DOCX removes the macro layer while keeping the document content, formatting, and structure fully intact. This is the cleanest way to sanitize a macro-enabled document because both formats share the same XML architecture — no format translation is needed for the document content itself.
Security policies in many organizations prohibit sharing or receiving DOCM files because macro-enabled documents can carry malicious VBA code. Email filters, cloud storage security scans, and SharePoint policies frequently block DOCM attachments. Converting to DOCX produces a file that passes all standard security checks while preserving every aspect of the document content.
DOCX is also the standard format for cloud collaboration. Microsoft 365 co-authoring, Google Docs import, and SharePoint document libraries handle DOCX seamlessly, while DOCM files may trigger warnings or lose macro functionality when uploaded to cloud platforms.
LibreOffice parses the DOCM ZIP package, reading the document.xml, styles.xml, numbering.xml, and all relationship files that define the document content and formatting. The vbaProject.bin (containing compiled VBA code) and any associated macro-related relationship entries are excluded from the output. All remaining components — text content, paragraph and character styles, tables, images, headers, footers, footnotes, embedded objects, and theme data — are written to a standard DOCX package. Because DOCM and DOCX share the same XML schema, the content transfer is structurally identical.
Document content transfers with perfect fidelity because DOCM and DOCX use the same underlying Open XML format. Text, formatting, tables, images, charts, SmartArt, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, and page layout are all preserved exactly. The only content removed is VBA macro code and any ActiveX controls that depend on the macro runtime. If the document relied on macros for dynamic content generation (calculated fields, auto-populated sections), those elements will show their last-rendered static values.
