how to open .docm file

boltonangel

Hi

I have received a .docm file that I need to open and I can't really ask for it to be resent differently.

I already use OpenOffice but it won't open it. I don't have word.

I am an idiot when it comes to opening files that require anything more than double clicking!

Use the Word Viewer which is part of the Office Compatibility Pack. Read this article.

docm files contain macros. If it isn't from someone you're comfortable with asking for a different format from, you probably shouldn't be opening it at all.

Office macros aren't the haven for viruses they once were, but they're not immune, even now.
