About ODT to Word

Open LibreOffice and OpenOffice documents in Word without surprises. Fonts, sizes, colours and highlights, headings and the title, nested numbered and bulleted lists that keep counting, tables with merged cells and header rows, pictures and text boxes, links, footnotes and endnotes, headers, footers, page size and page breaks are converted to real Word formatting.

Files from LibreOffice Writer, OpenOffice, Google Docs and Word are read, including flat .fodt files, and LibreOffice fonts can be swapped for Word look-alikes. Preview the Word document before you download, convert several files at once — nothing is uploaded.

Good for

  • Sending LibreOffice documents to colleagues and clients who use Word
  • Submitting assignments or forms that must be .docx
  • Moving a document archive from OpenOffice to Microsoft 365

Tip: Tick “Replace LibreOffice fonts with Word fonts” if the document will be opened on Windows — the layout stays closest to the original.

Frequently asked questions

What is kept when converting ODT to Word?

Text with its fonts, sizes, colours and highlights; bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript and subscript; headings and the title; numbered and bulleted lists, including nested ones; tables with merged cells and header rows; pictures and text boxes; links; footnotes and endnotes; headers and footers; page size, margins and page breaks.

Is the result a real .docx?

Yes — a proper Word document with Word’s own heading styles, real lists, tables and footnotes, not an HTML file renamed to .doc, so it opens cleanly in Word, Google Docs and on phones.

Why do fonts look different in Word?

LibreOffice often uses fonts such as Liberation Serif or DejaVu Sans that Windows doesn’t have. Tick “Replace LibreOffice fonts with Word fonts” to swap them for Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri and other look-alikes.

Which files can I convert?

OpenDocument text files (.odt), flat OpenDocument (.fodt) and templates (.ott) from LibreOffice Writer, Apache OpenOffice, Google Docs, Word and other programs.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device.
