Convert DOCX to ODT

.docx

Microsoft Office

DOCX – is a standard extension that includes the test content of the document, pictures, painted objects, styles, and other elements. It replaced the obsolete format .doc in 2007 and is used to work with Microsoft Word documents. The format allows you to work with different content based on many tools that automate the creation and editing processes. For the correct display of the DOCX files in obsolete versions of Word, you need to install a special compatibility package. It helps to convert text content to DOC format.

The DOCX extension is written in XML markup language and includes many document elements stored as separate files combined into one archived ZIP file. The appearance of such a format confirms the transition of Microsoft Office suite software solutions to the Open XML international standard. Therefore, the extension is supported by many open source applications, for example, LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer.

.odt

OpenOffice Writer

Twenty years ago, Sun Microsystems developed the Open Office, which included the ODT. It is open-source software that can serve as a free alternative to Microsoft's Office suite of products. The Open Office is compatible with several Microsoft document formats, and it's offered for free. The word processing element of Open Office is the writer application that produces ODT files.

OpenDocument text file format in both proprietary and free software stands alone. A Technical Committee (TC), an affiliate of the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards industry consortium, developed a web-based office suite. ODT files are created with synchronized multimedia integration language and scalable vector graphics, all of which have gone through the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility initiative standards.
