Convert ODM to FODT

An ODM (OpenDocument Master Document) file is a master text document created by Apache OpenOffice Writer or another OpenDocument word processor. It contains multiple ODT files linked together, allowing users to manage and edit sections of a long document separately. This format is particularly useful for collaborative writing projects, as it simplifies the process of combining individual sections into a single cohesive document. The ODM file format was developed under the OASIS OpenDocument standard to promote interoperability across different word processing applications.

The FODT file extension stands for OpenDocument Flat XML Document, primarily used for text documents. These files contain plain XML text, which makes them more accessible for version control and easier to integrate with software systems. OpenDocument, initially developed by OASIS in 2005, provides an open standard for office documents, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various applications. FODT files, a subset of this standard, offer a simplified and flexible format for document exchange and storage, enhancing collaboration and consistency in document management within professional IT environments.
