Converting ODT to DOC: How to do it

ODT is a file extension used by open source programs. Word, on the other hand, uses DOC or DOCX files. You simply make the conversion with Word. You can also use OpenOffice or LibreOffice to turn an ODT file into a DOC. To do this, you must first open the file and then start the Save dialog.
