Graphics Elements

The table below shows which Word graphics features are fully, partially, or not supported in the OpenDocument Format (.odt).

Supported The Word format and the OpenDocument Format support this feature. Graphics using this feature generally appear and behave the same in either format.
Partially Supported The Word format and the OpenDocument Format support this feature, but graphics might appear differently between the formats. No data is generally lost between the formats, but formatting and how you work with these graphics might be different.
Not Supported Because of the unique differences of features and implementation between the Word format and the OpenDocument Format, this feature isn’t supported in OpenDocument Format. If you plan to save your document in an OpenDocument Format, don’t use these features.

Basic shapes	Level of support
Shapes	Supported
Text boxes	Supported Supported except for objects in text boxes that are partially supported. SmartArt graphics, shapes, or text boxes inside a text box are not supported and are lost when you open the file.
WordArt	Supported
3D shapes options	Supported
Pictures	Supported Supported except for the insert and link option that are not supported by ODF.
SmartArt diagrams	Supported Converted to a group of shapes.
ActiveX controls	Not Supported
Objects in charts	Supported Converted to a group containing the chart and objects. Word cannot support a group containing a chart so the objects are ungrouped when you open the file in Word.
Signature line object	Not Supported
Ink annotation	Supported The ink annotation is converted to an Enhanced MetaFile (EMF). (In Word 2007, it’s converted to a freeform shape.)
Group of objects	Partially Supported Some objects cannot be grouped together in Word, so the objects are ungrouped when you open the OpenDocument file. This includes anything grouped with a chart, and a picture grouped with a shape, text box, or OLE object.
Object visibility	Partially Supported Invisible objects become visible after saving the file in .odt and opening again in Word.
Object borders	Supported Not all border styles are supported. Border styles that are not supported are saved as the default border style (black, solid line).
Object fills	Supported Supported except for gradient fills with more than two stops lose all stops after the first two.
Line formatting	Supported Not all line and line end styles are supported in ODF. Styles that are not supported are saved as the default, black solid line and open arrow type, respectively.
Picture cropping	Supported Regular cropping of a picture is supported. However, cropping a picture with a shape is not supported.
Picture recoloring	Partially Supported Some picture recoloring has the equivalent in ODF, such as black and white. Other picture recoloring does not have an equivalent and is flattened. The picture appears the same but the recoloring can no longer be changed or removed.
3D picture options	Not Supported
Picture styles	Partially Supported Borders are partially supported, but might not look the same.

What to Know

An ODT file is an OpenDocument text document file.
Open one with Word, OpenOffice Writer, Word Online, or Google Docs.
Convert to a similar format like PDF or DOCX with one of those programs or a dedicated converter like FileZigZag.

This article describes what an ODT file is, how to open one on any device, and how to convert one to DOCX and other more common document formats.

What Is an ODT File?

An ODT file is an OpenDocument text document. These files are most often created by the free OpenOffice Writer word processor program.

ODT files are similar to the popular DOCX file format used with Microsoft Word. They’re both document file types that can hold things like text, images, objects, and styles, and are compatible with lots of programs.

ODT Files.

If your file isn’t a document, it might instead be a dialog theme used with the Origin data analysis and graphic software. These files are formatted in XML and used to change how various dialog windows in the program appear.

How to Open an ODT File

ODT files are built with OpenOffice Writer, so that same program is the best way to open one. However, LibreOffice Writer, AbiSource AbiWord (download the Windows version), Doxillion, and several other free document editors can open ODT files, too.

Google Docs and Microsoft 365 Online can open ODT files online, and you can edit them there as well.

If you’re using Google Docs to edit the ODT file, you can either upload the file to Google Drive through the New > File upload menu, or select the file picker button on Google Docs. ODT files opened with Word Online are saved to OneDrive, but you can initiate the upload from the Word Online page, unlike you can with Google Docs.

ODT Viewer is another free ODT viewer for Windows, but it’s only useful for viewing ODT files; you can’t edit the file with that program.

If you have Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect installed, those are two other ways to use ODT files; they’re just not free to download. MS Word can both open and save to the ODT format.

Some of the programs just mentioned work on macOS and Linux, too, but NeoOffice (for Mac) and Calligra Suite (for Linux) are some alternatives. Also remember that Google Docs and Word Online are two online ODT viewers and editors, meaning that they work on not only Windows but any other operating system that can run a web browser.

To open an ODT file on an Android device, you can install the OpenDocument Reader app. iPhone and other iOS users can download and use OOReader or ikuDocs Documents, and probably some other document editors.

Origin Dialog Theme files are used by Origin, but you can’t open the theme file in the program like you can other Origin file types like OPJU, OPJ, etc. Instead, an ODT file is stored in the program’s «dialog» folder, usually in «C:Program FilesOriginLabOriginThemes,» from where Origin can read the settings and apply the appearance described by the theme file.

If your ODT file is opening in a program that you don’t want to use it with, change the default program for a specific file extension in Windows. For example, making that change would be helpful if you want to edit your ODT file in OpenOffice Writer but it’s instead opening in MS Word.

How to Convert an ODT File

To convert an ODT file without having one of those ODT editors/viewers mentioned above, your best options are to use Zamzar or FileZigZag. Zamzar can save an ODT file to DOC, HTML, PNG, PS, and TXT, while FileZigZag supports some of those formats as well as PDF, RTF, STW, OTT, and others.

However, if you already have MS Word, OpenOffice Writer, or any of those other ODT openers installed, you can just open the file there and then choose a different document format when you save it. Most of those programs support other formats in addition to the formats those online ODT converters support, like DOCX.

This is true for the online ODT editors as well. To convert the ODT file using Google Drive, for example, right-click it (from the list of files in your account) and select Open with > Google Docs. Then, use the Google Docs File > Download as menu to save the ODT file to DOCX, RTF, PDF, TXT, or EPUB.

Another option is to download a dedicated free document file converter.

More Information on the ODT Format

The ODT format isn’t the exact same as MS Word’s DOCX format.

ODT files are stored in a ZIP container but can also use XML, which makes it easier for the file to be created automatically without the need for an editor. Those types of files use the .FODT file extension.

You can make a FODT file from an ODT file with this command:

oowriter --convert-to fodt myfile.odt

That command is available via the free OpenOffice suite.

Still Can’t Open the File?

If your file isn’t opening with any of the several suggested programs above, there’s a good chance that you don’t really have an ODT file. Some file types share similar file extension letters that make it easy to confuse them with each other.

For example, an ADT file shares two of the three file extension letters but those files are not openable in an OpenOffice program. Instead, ADT files are ACT! Document Template files used with the Act! software.

Similarly, ODM files might look related to OpenOffice Writer but those are OverDrive Media files used within the context of the OverDrive app.

Some OpenDocument formats use a similar file extension but can’t be opened with the same programs mentioned on this page. This includes ODS, ODP, ODG, and ODF files which, respectively, are used with OpenOffice’s Calc, Impress, Draw, and Math programs. All of those programs can be downloaded through the main OpenOffice suite.

FAQ

What should you do when an ODT file crashes when opening?

In Windows File Explorer, search for a backup copy of the ODT file; the file extension for backup files is .bak. Or try to insert the contents of the file into a blank document in LibreOffice Writer: open a blank document, then select Insert > File > select the corrupted ODT file.
How do you open an ODT file on an iPad?

To open and view an ODT file on an iPad, you’ll need to use a third-party LibreOffice reader app, such as OOReader. Or you can download Microsoft Word for iPad to open ODT files on an Apple tablet.

If you often work with office files, you may have come across an ODT document. Someone may have shared one in place of a DOCX file. We’ll explain what ODT files are and how you open one.

A file with the “.odt” extension is an OpenOffice Document file. These documents are typically created using programs like Apache OpenOffice Writer and LibreOffice Writer, word processors comparable to Microsoft Word and Google Docs. ODT files are similar to file formats created using Word, such as DOCX and DOC. They contain formatted text, images, links, and page information used for document creation and printing.

ODT files are part of the Open Document Format (ODF) standard, also known as OpenDocument. Other ODF file extensions include OpenDocument Sheets (ODS) for spreadsheets and OpenDocument Presentations (ODP) for slideshows. These files are widely compatible with other office suites and are relatively easy to convert back and forth to different file types.

How to Open an ODT File

There are several ways to open an ODT file. The best way to open an ODT file and retain all its formattings is to use office applications with native ODF compatibility. These include the Apache OpenOffice suite and the offshoot LibreOffice suite, which are fairly similar programs. The main difference is their ownership and development; OpenOffice is owned by Apache and has had a history of developmental hiccups, while LibreOffice is open-source and is actively maintained. You can learn about these two office programs in our comparison.

If you use Microsoft Office, you can open ODT files using Microsoft Word. While you likely won’t get complete compatibility, you can get quite close. With the release of Office 2021, Microsoft upgraded the suite, including Word, with better support for the newest OpenDocument 1.3 standard. Improvements included better support for page numbers, headers and footers, and content control.

You can also open OpenDocument files through other office suites with varying degrees of compatibility. Google Docs allows you to open an ODT file as a Google Docs document and edit it directly. Google Docs also lets you export documents to ODT files. You can also open ODT files using Corel WordPerfect. If you’re using a Mac, you can use LibreOffice’s native Mac application or NeoOffice, an OpenOffice and LibreOffice offshoot specifically developed for macOS.

If you want to open an ODT file on a mobile device, you can check out Collabora Office, a LibreOffice-based office suite available on iOS and Android. This will ensure the highest level of compatibility possible. Many document viewers and office suites are available on the App Store and Google Play Store, some of which can open ODT files for general viewing purposes.

How to Convert an ODT File

Converting ODT files is pretty simple. If you have an ODT file open in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer, all you have to do is select “Save As” and save it in your desired format. You can select all standard word processing file types, such as DOCX, XML, or HTML.

You can also convert an ODT file into a cloud-based Google Document by opening it inside the Google Docs suite. Much like importing a DOCX file, this immediately converts it into a file that is editable through Google Docs. You can also export it into Google Docs’ available export formats, such as DOCX and PDF.

You can also convert an ODT file to a permanent file format like PDF using any office suite. In Microsoft Office or LibreOffice, you can directly save a file as a PDF or use a PDF driver like Microsoft Print-to-PDF or Adobe Acrobat. You can use printing options to set up things like page sizes, borders, and page selection.

How to Start Using OpenOffice Formats

OpenDocument file formats were built to be highly compatible with the OpenOffice suite. If you know that you’ll be working with ODF files constantly, you should consider downloading Apache OpenOffice or LibreOffice on your computer. These are both free programs with much of the same functionality as Microsoft Office.

One thing that you should always consider before working across file formats is interoperability. While Microsoft Office can open ODT files and OpenOffice Writer can open DOCX files, they’re not going to be perfect conversions. To ensure maximum compatibility, coordinate with your team and work in the same file format as much as possible.

LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are free open-source alternatives to Microsoft Office. The Writer word processor included with OpenOffice and LibreOffice is equivalent to Microsoft Word.

Writer allows users to write and format personal and business documents, such as resumes, letters, essays, and research papers. Writer saves users’ documents in ODT files, which are similar to Word’s DOCX files.

The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) maintains the XML-based OpenDocument standard. This standard is used by OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and other variants, all of which save documents as ODT files.

How to open an ODT file

You can open an ODT file in a variety of word processors, including:

LibreOffice (cross-platform)
OpenOffice Writer (cross-platform)
Microsoft Word (cross-platform)
Google Docs (Web, iOS, Android, Chrome OS)

You can also convert your ODT file to a DOCX file in these programs. Note that you may lose some formatting when you open an ODT file in a program other than LibreOffice or OpenOffice or convert an ODT file to another format.

How to convert an ODT file

Various word processing applications, including OpenOffice Writer, Microsoft Word, and Corel WordPerfect, can convert ODT files to other formats.

For example, OpenOffice Writer can convert ODT files to one of the following formats:

.OTT — OpenDocument Document Template
.DOC — Microsoft Word Document (Legacy)
.PDF — Portable Document Format
.RTF — Rich Text Format
.TXT — Plain Text

What is an ODT file?

An ODT file is a data file created by OOMMF (Object Oriented Micromagnetic Framework), a micromagnetics analysis package developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It contains one or more tables of micromagnetics data saved as ASCII plain text. ODT files usually also contain tags and comments that describe the data they contain.

More Information

ODT file open in Apple TextEdit

OOMMF is a public domain micromagnetics package that allows physicists to solve micromagnetics problems. When a physicist solves a micromagnetics problem, OOMMF produces an ODT file that contains tabular text data. Each table includes:

The solver iteration count
Nominal applied field
Reduced average magnetization
Total energy

Each ODT file begins with the line # ODT 1.0, to identify it as an ODT file. In addition to tabular data, ODT files may also contain the following tags:

Table Start: Used to segment a file containing multiple data tables
Title: Used to specify a table’s title
Units: Used to specify data’s units of measurement
Table End: Paired with a corresponding Table Start tag

ODT files may also contain comments, preceded by ##.

How to open an ODT file

You can open an ODT file in OOMMF (multiplatform). Doing so will visually display the data the file contains. You can also open an ODT file in any text editor, to view the data it contains as plain text.

Origin Dialog Theme

What is an ODT file?

An ODT file is a dialog theme used by OriginLab Origin, a data analysis and graphing application. It contains analysis dialog box settings that control how a dialog box receives, analyzes, and outputs data. ODT files are saved in XML format, but they are not meant to be opened outside Origin.

More Information

Scientists and engineers across a variety of fields use Origin to import, analyze, and graph data. While analyzing data, users can open various dialog boxes that manipulate data in different ways. These dialog boxes have many settings a user can customize.

If a user wants to save the settings they’ve entered in a dialog box, they can select the triangle button that appears to the right of the Dialog Theme field and select Save As…. This saves the user’s current settings as a dialog theme, or ODT file.

Users can save multiple themes for the same dialog box, and they can select from those themes using the triangle button. Users can also choose to set a certain ODT file as a dialog box’s default theme.

NOTE: Origin typically saves ODT files in the C:/Program Files/OriginLab/Origin<version>/Themes/Dialog directory.

How to open an ODT file

Origin ODT files are not meant to be opened by users. To select a theme for an Origin dialog box, open that dialog box in Origin and then select the triangle button that appears to the right of the Dialog Theme field.

What is a ODT file

ODT is XML-based and is used to create and manage spreadsheets, charts, presentations, and word documents. The purpose of this document file extension is to provide an open, XML based format specification for documents. ODT files are part of the Open Office program created by Sun Microsystems. It is used as an alternative to Microsoft Office due to the free download with no licensing fees. When saved correctly, files in Open Office can be opened in Microsoft Word or converted easily into DOC and DOCX files. Open Office can open Microsoft Office documents. Open Office is free to the public, royalty free, and can run on various Operating Systems.

The OpenDocument text file format used both in free software and proprietary software, including both stand alone and web based office suites, was developed by a Technical Committee (TC) under the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards industry consortium. ODT files are built on many components, including scalable vector graphics and synchronized multimedia integration language. They have all undergone the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative processes.

Here’s a small, but not exhaustive list of programs that can open ODT documents:

Microsoft Office 2007
Microsoft Office 2010
OpenOffice Writer
