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!

Lead me not into temptation, I can find the way myself.

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.I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.0 -
