DOCM File

File extension .DOCM
CategoryDocument File
DescriptionDOCM is a new Word-based extension, a Macro-enabled MS Word Open HTML format. Just like DOCX, this format combines XML and ZIP compression algorithms resulting in smaller file size and therefore more convenient sharing and storage. However, DOCM files contain a VB (Visual Basic) programming code ñ a macro (the “M” in the file name stands for “Macro”), which is potentially dangerous and should be regarded with caution. DOCM files can be opened in Windows 7/8/Vista/XP. If you have downloaded a DOCM file from a source you do not trust, do not open it.

TXT File

File extension .TXT, .TEXT
CategoryDocument File
DescriptionTXT format is the simplest text file standard that doesn’t support formatting. Such file contains text characters, tab and line feed characters. Being outdated in functionality it has one major advantage - compact file size, comfortable for sharing, data export/import. It supports various charsets (DOS, WIN, ISO, KOI-8). The charset can be changed to make TXT file compatible with any text reader. The lack of formatting is solved by setting up format params in the reader program.

Extracted plain text from DOCM files for search indexing — the output was clean and macros didn't cause any issues during conversion.

DOCM to TXT Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is a DOCM file and why convert it to TXT?

DOCM is a macro-enabled Microsoft Word document format. Like DOCX, it stores document content as XML inside a ZIP container, but it also includes a vbaProject.bin with VBA macro code. Converting to TXT extracts the plain text content — paragraphs, headings, list items, table cell text — while discarding all formatting, macros, images, and document structure. The result is a lightweight, universally readable file suitable for text processing, indexing, or import into systems that accept only plain text.

What is preserved and what is lost when converting DOCM to TXT?

Preserved: all written text, in reading order (top to bottom, left to right through the document). Lost: all character and paragraph formatting (bold, italic, fonts, colors, indentation), images, charts, tables (converted to tab-separated text rows or linearized), headers and footers, tracked changes markup, VBA macros, and embedded objects. Hyperlinks lose their destination URL unless the URL was written as visible text.

Are table contents included in the TXT output?

Yes, but without visual alignment. Table cells are output as plain text, typically row by row with cell content separated by whitespace or tabs. If the DOCM contains a table with data you need to process programmatically, the TXT output is still useful as a starting point, though CSV would be a better choice for purely tabular data.

Do the macros in the DOCM pose any risk when converting?

No. The converter reads the document XML content without executing any VBA code. The macro binary is ignored entirely during the extraction process. You can safely convert a DOCM file from an untrusted source to TXT to inspect its text content without risking macro execution.

What is the file size limit for the online converter?

The online converter accepts DOCM files up to 50 MB. Most DOCM files are 1–10 MB; a 50 MB DOCM would contain large embedded objects. For files larger than 50 MB, or for converting a folder of DOCM files in one run, use the desktop Total Doc Converter.

How do I batch convert many DOCM files to TXT?

The online tool handles one file at a time. For bulk conversion, the desktop Total Doc Converter supports command-line operation: TotalDocConverter.exe C:\Docs\*.docm /txt /out C:\TXTOutput\. Add /unicode to write UTF-16 TXT output if downstream tools require it, or omit it for UTF-8. This approach is practical for converting a document archive for full-text indexing or feeding into a natural-language processing pipeline.
