How to convert abw to docm file

Unfortunately, ABW documents can be only opened and saved in the original software - AbiWord and there is no alternative to this. If you want, you can save .abw files to several formats supported in AbiWord, including documents from MS Word. We do not know about any 3rd party converter or even some other word processor that can work with .abw files, so using the original tool is probably the only option.

Understanding ABW and DOCM file formats

The ABW file format is primarily associated with AbiWord, a free word processing program. ABW files are used to store documents created in AbiWord, which supports rich text formatting, images, tables, and more. On the other hand, the DOCM file format is a Microsoft Word document format that includes macros. It is part of the Office Open XML format and is used for documents that require automation through macros.

How to convert ABW to DOCM

Converting an ABW file to a DOCM file involves changing the document format from AbiWord to a Microsoft Word format that supports macros. This can be useful if you need to use advanced Word features or share the document with users who primarily use Microsoft Word.

Best software for ABW to DOCM conversion

One of the best tools for converting ABW files to DOCM is LibreOffice. LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite that can open and save a wide range of document formats.

Steps to convert using LibreOffice

  2. Go to File → Save As.
  3. In the Save as type dropdown menu, select Microsoft Word 2007-365 (.docm).

By following these steps, you can easily convert your ABW files to DOCM format, allowing you to utilize the macro features in Microsoft Word.
