Does #Microsoft #Word no longer allows people to open .ODT files? Have, a few times, had to safe .ODT files as .DOCX via LibreOffice so that Word users could open it.
.ODT is an open source file format, so its a deliberate choice for Word to not be compatible.
Why do people pay for a shitty product that lacks such basic functionality?
