It’s for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

    It’s because it’s not the native format. How does MS Office show/edit ODT documents? Does it work better?

      Idk i have never worked with a complicated odt document Although, I would expect some problems because of fonts

      Come to think of it. I tried that a couple months ago and The results weren’t so great.( I told word to specifically save my docx document in ODT format)

        I don’t understand why ODT is complicated. It’s a zipfile with inspectible data. The standard document is also not as vendor-specific as MS OOXML which is thousands of pages that everybody gave up upon.

          I think they meant complicated in the sense of having a complex document with formatting and so on (like a scientific paper)

          Not that the file format itself is complex.
