Host a DOCM file and share it as a link
Put a macro-enabled Word document online at its own address — with a warning worth reading first.

Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Free to use. Your DOCM file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.
What is a .docm file?
DOCM is a Word document that can contain VBA macros — code that runs inside Word. The separate extension exists precisely so that Word and email filters can tell at a glance whether a document might execute something, because macros have been a favoured malware vector for decades.
What people use DOCM files for
- Templates that automate repetitive document work
- Forms that validate or calculate as they're filled in
- Internal tools built by a team's Excel and Word power users
- Documents that generate content from data
What opens a DOCM file
- Microsoft Word, which prompts before enabling macros
- LibreOffice Writer, with partial VBA support
- Google Docs, which strips macros entirely on import
How to host a DOCM file
- 1
Drop your DOCM file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: form-template.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads. When opened in Word, macros are disabled by default and the reader gets a security prompt — that friction is deliberate and it applies whether the file came from a colleague or a public link.
Why host a DOCM file instead of emailing it?
Macro-enabled documents are frequently blocked by mail filters, which is exactly the problem that makes a link useful. It's also the reason to think carefully: a public URL means anyone can download and inspect the macros.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Recipients will see a security warning and must actively enable macros — tell them what the macro does so they can make an informed decision.
- Never host a DOCM containing internal system details, credentials or server paths; VBA is readable by anyone who downloads it.
- If the document doesn't actually need macros, save as .docx — it avoids the warnings entirely.
DOCM hosting questions
- Is it safe to share a macro-enabled document?
- Only if you wrote the macros and know what they do. Recipients get a security prompt for good reason, and telling them in advance what the macro does is the difference between them trusting the file and deleting it.
- Why does Word warn about my file?
- Word disables macros by default in files from outside your organisation. That's standard behaviour for any DOCM, however it reached them.
- Should I use DOCM or DOCX?
- DOCX unless the document genuinely needs macros. DOCX can't contain executable code, so it's accepted by more mail filters and opens without warnings.
