Files with the ODT extension (Open Document Text), are editable text documents of the ODF format series (Open Document Format), created by some types of text editors compatible with OpenOffice. It is a basic text file format for text processors of this series.
SDW is a text document file format associated with StarOffice software package. The last version of StarOffice was released back in 2008. StarOffice was marketed as a more affordable alternative to Microsoft Office, but only managed to capture 3% of the market.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the ODT file after converting to SDW may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from ODT to SDW to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting ODT to SDW does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in ODT format, properly converted to a SDW file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file ODT the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of ODT file to other than SDW. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your ODT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to SDW on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the ODT file in its original format (without conversion to SDW file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
