Word 97-2003 Document (DOC) is the original binary format of Microsoft Word, used as the default from the 1980s until Word 2007 replaced it with DOCX. A DOC file packs text, formatting, images, tables, and embedded objects into a single proprietary structure. Because that structure is binary rather than XML, DOC files are more prone to corruption, harder for other programs to interpret, and can carry macro-based malware.
How to open a DOC file?
Every current version of Microsoft Word still opens DOC files, usually in Compatibility Mode, and offers to convert them to the newer DOCX format.
LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, and Apple Pages all handle DOC well. Since support for this legacy format is gradually being reduced, converting your archive is sensible — our DOC to DOCX and DOC to PDF tools do it in one step.

OpenDocument Text (ODT) is the word-processing format of the OpenDocument standard, the default in LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. An ODT is a ZIP package containing XML for the text and styles plus any embedded images. Because the specification is published as ISO/IEC 26300 and controlled by no single vendor, ODT is widely used by governments and public institutions that need documents to stay readable for decades.
How to open an ODT file?
LibreOffice Writer is the natural application for ODT, since it implements the standard in full.
You do not need it, though: Microsoft Word has opened and saved ODT since 2009, Google Docs imports it, and Apache OpenOffice Writer handles it natively. Complex layouts can shift a little when moving between suites, so convert the file with our ODT to PDF tool when exact formatting matters.
