About ODT to Word

ODT to Word conversion bridges the gap when you write in LibreOffice or OpenOffice but a client, a teacher or an HR portal expects a Word file. Recent Word versions can open many ODT files, but not every system or person can. Upload the .odt and download a DOCX with the same name. Apple Pages documents have their own converter, Pages to Word.

Headings keep their levels, and paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables and pictures are rebuilt in Word's format. Fonts, colors, page layout and numbered-list styles aren't carried over, and pictures are placed at a standard width, so give formatted documents a quick look before sending them on.

    Tables arrive as Word tables, and pictures are placed in the text where they were.

  • Lists and emphasis

    Useful for portals and colleagues that accept only DOCX.
