Seems like they did a &quot;save as&quot; and selected &quot;Word 2007 Macro-enabled Document (*.docm).<br />
A file with the DOCM file extension is a Word Microsoft Office Open XML Format Document (Macros Enabled) file. <br />
I suppose it's also possible that they mistakenly renamed the extension in explorer and it's really a .doc format, but that seems unlikely.<br />
You should be able to open the docm file in Word 2003 with the 2007 compatibility pack and then do a save as to the standard doc format.<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

This user didn't have the 2007 compatibility pack installed. But I am going to make sure all the computer have that installed.

I have a client that doesn't know how they were able to create a docm file.<br />
They had a doc file modified it and then saved as and renamed it. They are using Office 2003. The default option is set to a .doc file.

How does one create a docm file

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
