File extension odt information
The file extension .ODT refers to word processor files from OpenDocument that are primarily opened, created and also edited by Sun Microsystems’ OpenOffice, which is essentially a free application, and also the StarOffice application, which are both software suites. The OpenDocument format development was initiated by the OpenOffice and subsequently has been taken on by the ‘Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards’, which is also referred to as OASIS. Additionally, OpenDocument is now increasingly being recognized internationally by the two international standardization bodies namely ISO and IED as a standardized format.
Cannot open odt files in Windows?
Not being able to open odt files in Windows may be a result of registry errors or not having the appropriate application installed. It is strongly recommended that you scan your computer for registry errors (free).This OpenDocument format is mainly a file format that is used in the processing of electronic office documents like charts, word processing documents, presentations and spreadsheets. The specifications that are available are originally developed by Sun Microsystems but the standard was actually developed by OpenOffice XML that encompasses a technical committee from the Organization for the OASIS consortium and is based on the original XML format that was implemented and originally created by the Openoffice.org office suite. Common definitions of the open standard are thus met by the OpenDocument format.
