When to save document to *.docx vs. *.docm
My understanding is the intent of these extensions is:
- "docx" is for documents that do NOT have macros - "docm" is for documents that DO have macros But what if the document's attached template contains the macros, and the document itself doesn't? We use a versioned template for our documentation that contains all our VBA macros for doc automation (e.g. "CoprorateTemplate.docm"). Is it ok to save the document as a *.docx? (e.g., "document.docx"), if the document itself contains no macros? Word allows this, but I'm not sure if that is the intent. |

When to save document to *.docx vs. *.docm
It's always more convenient to keep the macros in a template than in a document.
In other words, save your document in *.docx (macro-free) format. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "D. Lavallee" wrote in message ...
