ODT — Formatted OpenDocument Text
An OpenDocument Text file carrying the same content as the formatted DOCX — styled heading, bold/italic runs, and a table. The open twin in a DOCX↔ODT conversion set.

What is a .odt file?
ODT is the OpenDocument Text format, an ISO-standardized word-processing document stored as a ZIP archive of XML parts. It is the native format of LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer and stores text, styles, tables, and images. It is the open-standard counterpart to DOCX.
How to use this file
Use an example ODT to test OpenDocument parsing, ZIP-package handling, and converters that translate between ODT and DOCX or other document formats.
How to use this file for testing
“ODT — Formatted OpenDocument Text” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.
Documented properties for this file: OpenDocument Text (ODT). Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.
Code examples
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf formatted.odt # ODF is a ZIP of XMLRelated files
- docxDOCX with CommentsA Word document with two anchored reviewer comments — for testing comment extraction and whether converters preserve or drop review annotations.
- docxDOCX with Core and Custom PropertiesA valid DOCX package with fixed core properties and two custom properties surrounding an unchanged word/document.xml part.
- docxDOCX with Metadata StrippedThe same DOCX document part without core or custom property parts, suitable for checking OOXML metadata removal without content loss.
- docxDOCX with Tracked ChangesA Word document with real tracked changes — insertions and deletions attributed to two reviewers with timestamps — for testing how tools read, accept, reject, or preserve revisions.
- docxPlain DOCXA minimal Word document of plain paragraphs with no styling — the simplest valid DOCX for baseline parser testing.
- adocAsciiDoc Guide (ADOC source)An AsciiDoc getting-started guide with source blocks, an admonition, and a table — for testing AsciiDoc renderers (Asciidoctor), editors, and conversion to HTML/PDF.
