Chapter 2: Working With OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org File Formats
OpenOffice.org uses an XML file format as the default for saving and opening documents.
XML file format names
In saving and opening OpenOffice.org documents if no other file type is
selected,OpenOffice.org uses the following XML formats:
Application File extension
OpenOffice.org Writer *.odt
OpenOffice.org Writer templates *.ott
HTML Document *.html
HTML Document Template *.oth
OpenOffice.org Calc *.ods
OpenOffice.org Calc templates *.ots
OpenOffice.org Impress *.odp
OpenOffice.org Impress templates *.otp
OpenOffice.org Draw *.odg
OpenOffice.org Draw templates *.otg
OpenOffice.org Formula/Math *.odf
Master documents *.odm
These file name extensions permit reasonable differentiation when searching though a lot of
files of different file types in a directory. Since these are compressed XML files , it should be
evident that these must first be unpacked before being manipulated, for example, by a text
editor.
Note: If a user wants to work permanently with another file format, define this as the default. Select Tools >
Options > Load/Save > General for alternative file formats that can be selected for each OpenOffice.org document
type.
