How to use ODT to Word
- Choose or drop your ODT file.
- We translate styles, tables and images into Word format.
- Pay once and download your DOCX.
What to expect
ODT is the default format for LibreOffice and OpenOffice and is used by many schools and governments. Word can open ODT, but layouts often shift. Converting to DOCX first gives recipients a file that behaves like any other Word document.
Paragraph and character styles, headings, tables, images, footnotes, headers and footers are all translated to their Word equivalents, so your table of contents and numbering keep working.
The result also opens in Google Docs and Pages.
Fonts that come with LibreOffice, such as Liberation Sans and Liberation Serif, are metric-compatible with Arial and Times New Roman, so text keeps the same width and pages usually break in the same places in Word.

Footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers and page numbers are all carried over into the Word document.
Can I go from Word back to ODT?
