Convert ODT into plain CSV, stripping out word processing-specific formatting, styles, and structure to leave just the raw data.
| Feature | ODT | CSV |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Yes (ZIP container) | No |
| Layout | Preserved (styles, structure) | None (plain text only) |
| Format era | Open standard (ISO/IEC 26300) | Universal |
ODT (OpenDocument Text) is the open ISO-standard word processing format used by LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is plain tabular data with no formulas, formatting, or multiple sheets — just rows and columns separated by commas.
What to expect: CSV doesn't support everything ODT does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
