About ODT and TXT

ODT (OpenDocument Text) is the open ISO-standard word processing format used by LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice Writer.

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

What to expect: TXT doesn't support everything ODT does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
